This typeface is a slanted serif with bracketed serifs and a gently modulated stroke that reads as moderate contrast. The letterforms show oldstyle proportions and diagonal stress, with smooth, calligraphic curves in bowls and a rhythmic, slightly variable texture across the line. Capitals are sturdy and open with restrained ornament, while lowercase forms are more cursive in their movement, featuring a single-storey a and g, a fluid entry/exit in strokes, and a right-leaning italic construction. Numerals follow the same italic axis and serif treatment, keeping consistent weight and color for continuous text.
It performs well in long-form reading environments such as books, editorial layouts, and magazine typography, where the italic voice can carry emphasis while remaining comfortably legible. It also fits formal announcements, invitations, and pull quotes that benefit from a refined, traditional serif presence with added movement.
The overall tone is classic and literary, combining formality with a warm, humanist handwritten influence. It feels suited to traditional publishing and cultured branding where an elegant, established voice is desired without looking rigid or mechanical.
The design appears intended as a readable, conventional serif italic with a classical, calligraphy-influenced construction. Its goal seems to be delivering a familiar bookish authority while adding warmth and cadence through the italic slant and gently modulated strokes.
Curves are generously rounded and terminals tend to finish with serifed or subtly tapered endings rather than blunt cuts, which keeps the texture smooth at larger sizes. The slant and lively stroke rhythm give words a sense of forward motion while maintaining a conventional serif structure.
