This typeface is a right-leaning serif with a distinctly calligraphic construction and bracketed serifs. Strokes show a moderate thick–thin relationship with smooth, rounded joins and tapered terminals that keep the texture lively rather than rigid. Uppercase forms are sturdy and slightly condensed in feel, while the lowercase is more animated, with noticeable entry strokes and rounded, flowing shapes. Numerals follow the same italic rhythm, with curved forms and clear modulation that keeps them consistent with the text color.
It works well for book and long-form editorial typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, introductions, or quoted material. The expressive lowercase also suits magazine features, literary branding, and packaging that benefits from a traditional yet spirited tone.
The overall tone is classic and literary, evoking traditional book typography with a personable, handwritten energy. Its italics feel expressive without becoming decorative, giving it a refined, human warmth suited to narrative or cultured settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif reading texture with a more calligraphic, italic-forward personality. It aims to balance familiarity and readability with a lively, human stroke rhythm that adds character in continuous text.
The italic slant and lively stroke endings create an energetic diagonal rhythm across lines of text. Counters remain open and the serifs are softly bracketed, helping maintain readability while preserving a distinctly oldstyle character.
