This is an italic serif with flowing, calligraphic construction and bracketed serifs. Strokes show a moderate thick–thin rhythm with rounded joins and gently tapered terminals, giving the letterforms a soft, continuous feel rather than sharp, engraved edges. Proportions are traditional and text-oriented, with open counters and slightly generous spacing that keeps the texture readable while maintaining a distinct slanted rhythm. Numerals follow the same italic movement and appear oldstyle in character, blending smoothly with lowercase in running text.
It is well suited to book and magazine typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, introductions, and sidebars. The clear, traditional skeleton also makes it a strong choice for literary titling, formal announcements, and refined branding that benefits from an established serif tone.
The overall tone is classic and literary, suggesting editorial tradition and refined formality without feeling cold. Its lively cursive motion adds warmth and a slightly romantic, bookish personality, suitable for expressive typography that still reads like conventional text serif work.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, readable italic companion with a classic serif foundation, balancing calligraphic energy with steady text proportions. It aims to feel traditional and trustworthy while offering enough movement and softness to stand out in display lines and editorial accents.
Across the set, curves are emphasized over straight geometry, and many forms feature subtle entry and exit strokes that reinforce the handwritten influence. The italic angle is consistent and produces a cohesive rightward momentum in lines, while the moderate contrast keeps the face sturdy enough for longer passages.
