This is an italic serif with a calligraphic slant and gently bracketed serifs. Strokes show a smooth, moderate contrast with tapered terminals and subtly flared joins, producing a lively, handwritten rhythm without becoming script-like. Uppercase forms are stately and slightly narrow in feel, while the lowercase is more fluid, with rounded bowls and long, clean extenders; the italic construction is evident in letters like a, e, f, and y. Numerals include oldstyle figures (notably 3, 4, 5, 7, and 9), which integrate naturally with text.
It works well for long-form italics in books and magazines, as well as pull quotes, captions, and other editorial emphasis. The refined, traditional texture also suits poetry and short-form printed pieces such as invitations or formal announcements where a tasteful italic is desired.
The overall tone is bookish and cultivated, suggesting traditional publishing and polished correspondence. Its italic voice reads as expressive and gently formal, suitable for emphasis that still feels calm and composed rather than flashy.
The design appears intended as a conventional text italic: expressive enough to add warmth and motion, yet controlled for comfortable reading. By pairing traditional serif detailing with oldstyle numerals and a measured contrast, it aims to provide a dependable, classic typographic voice for continuous text and emphasis.
The capitals maintain an even, measured presence against a more animated lowercase, creating a pleasant hierarchy for mixed-case setting. Curves are consistently drawn and the serifs stay understated, helping the face remain readable while preserving an elegant, classic texture.
