This typeface is an italic serif with a calligraphic construction and gently bracketed serifs. Strokes show a noticeable diagonal axis and tapered terminals, with smooth joins and a consistent rightward slant across caps and lowercase. Proportions are moderately narrow with lively, varied letter widths; counters stay open and curves are drawn with a steady rhythm. Capitals are elegant and slightly restrained, while the lowercase has flowing forms and clear ascenders/descenders that support continuous reading in text.
Well suited to editorial settings where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, introductions, pull quotes, or literary passages. It can also serve in refined printed materials such as invitations, programs, and formal announcements where a traditional serif italic texture reads as established and polished.
The overall tone is classic and literary, suggesting cultivated editorial typography rather than a loud display voice. Its slanted, pen-informed shapes add warmth and motion, while the restrained contrast and tidy serifs keep it composed and formal.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, readable serif italic with a subtle calligraphic character—enough personality for expressive emphasis while maintaining the discipline and familiarity expected in long-form typography.
The numerals follow the same italic, old-style sensibility as the letters, blending smoothly into running text. In longer samples, the spacing and curvature create a soft, continuous texture that favors comfortable line flow over sharp, high-contrast sparkle.
