This typeface is an italic serif with a flowing, calligraphic construction and moderate stroke contrast. Strokes show a clear diagonal stress with tapered terminals and small, bracketed serifs that read more as flicks than rigid feet. Curves are open and slightly asymmetric, and the overall rhythm is lively, with gentle entry/exit strokes and varied internal shapes that give the alphabet a handwritten-influenced texture while remaining clearly typographic.
It suits editorial typography, book interiors, and magazine features where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or headings with a classical tone. It can also work well for refined branding, packaging, and invitations when a traditional serif italic is desired for elegance and motion.
The tone is traditional and literary, evoking bookish elegance and a slightly old-world formality. Its slanted, pen-like motion adds warmth and expressiveness, suggesting cultured editorial settings rather than neutral UI minimalism.
The design appears intended to provide a readable, conventionally structured serif italic with a distinctly pen-informed cadence. It aims to balance classical proportions and moderate contrast with enough gesture in the terminals and curves to feel expressive in continuous reading.
Uppercase forms are compact and softly modeled, with restrained ornament and rounded joins that keep the line color even. Lowercase letters emphasize smooth, continuous movement; ascenders are prominent and the italics are decisive without becoming overly narrow. Numerals follow the same italic, oldstyle feeling, integrating comfortably into running text.
