This is an italic serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and a clear diagonal stress that reads as gently calligraphic rather than mechanical. Capitals are relatively upright in structure but consistently slanted, with crisp, tapered terminals and compact, bookish proportions. Lowercase forms are lively and varied, showing flowing entry/exit strokes, a single-storey italic “a,” and a distinctive looped “g,” with counters that stay open enough for text use. Numerals follow the same italic rhythm with old-style-like movement and curved finishing strokes, keeping a cohesive texture across mixed content.
It suits long-form reading such as book typography, essays, and magazine features, especially where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or narrative tone. It also works well for literary titles and refined editorial headings that benefit from a traditional, cultured atmosphere.
The overall tone is classic and literary, suggesting traditional publishing and formal communication. Its italic energy feels expressive and cultivated—more refined than sporty—bringing a poised, old-world elegance to paragraphs and titles alike.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with a calligraphic underpinning, aiming for comfortable readability while adding expressive movement and a classic publishing character.
In text, the face builds an even, slightly animated rhythm: the slant, tapered terminals, and serif bracketing create smooth left-to-right flow without becoming overly ornate. The contrast is noticeable but controlled, helping it maintain a continuous reading color while still delivering a polished, editorial feel.
