This is an italic serif with a clearly calligraphic construction and bracketed serifs. Strokes show moderate contrast with gently tapered terminals, and the slant is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures. The lowercase has a compact, traditional rhythm with rounded bowls and flowing joins, while capitals are slightly wider and more sculpted, giving headings a stately presence. Numerals follow the same oldstyle, slightly variable-width feel, with curved forms and angled stress that match the text color.
It suits long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or introductions. The distinctive serif detailing also works well for refined packaging, invitations, and brand language that benefits from a classic, literary tone.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, with a warm, humanist motion that reads as cultured rather than flashy. Its italic personality feels expressive and elegant, evoking editorial typography, classic publishing, and historical reference without becoming overly ornate.
The font appears intended as a conventional text italic with a traditional serif vocabulary, optimized to provide a lively, readable texture in paragraphs while offering elegant emphasis for editorial use.
The design favors smooth curves over sharp corners, and many letters show subtle entry/exit strokes that reinforce a handwriting-influenced texture. Spacing appears comfortable in running text, producing an even gray value while still letting italic forms and serifs contribute character.
