A slanted serif with a distinctly calligraphic, humanist construction and softly flared stroke endings. Strokes show a gentle thick–thin modulation, with tapered terminals and bracketing that blends serifs into the stems rather than cutting abruptly. The overall rhythm is flowing and slightly expansive, with open counters and lively curves; capitals feel poised and classical, while the lowercase has an organic, written quality. Numerals are oldstyle-leaning in feel, with rounded forms and italic movement that matches the text face.
Well suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and magazine features where an elegant italic texture is desired. It can also support refined branding, packaging, and invitations when a classic serif voice with a handwritten inflection is appropriate.
The font conveys a bookish, cultivated tone—formal without feeling rigid. Its italic energy and tapered details add warmth and motion, giving text a polished, literary voice suited to editorial and cultural contexts.
Likely designed to provide a readable, traditionally grounded italic with calligraphic nuance—balancing classical proportions with softer, flared details to keep paragraphs smooth and engaging.
The italic angle is consistent across cases, and the flared terminals help maintain clarity at text sizes while keeping the texture soft. Curves (notably in C/G/O/Q and in the lowercase a/e/s) are drawn with smooth, continuous transitions, producing an even typographic color in paragraphs.
