This typeface is a serif italic with flowing, right-leaning forms and bracketed wedge serifs that taper to sharp points. Strokes show a clear diagonal stress and moderate contrast, giving the letters a crisp, engraved feel without becoming delicate. Capitals are sculpted and slightly narrow with elegant entry/exit strokes, while the lowercase is more calligraphic, with rounded bowls, long ascenders, and gently sweeping terminals. Overall spacing and rhythm read like a conventional book italic, with lively, slightly variable letter widths that create an organic line texture.
It works especially well for book and long-form italics such as emphasis, quotations, citations, and named works within serif text. The classical construction also suits editorial layouts, literary and academic settings, and traditional branding or invitations where a refined italic voice is needed.
The font conveys a classical, literary tone—polished and traditional, with an expressive italic cadence suited to emphasis and refined typography. Its crisp serifs and angled stress lend it a formal, editorial character rather than a casual handwritten one.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with a calligraphic edge, prioritizing readable rhythm and traditional proportions while adding expressive movement through tapered serifs and dynamic stroke endings.
Numerals follow the same italic posture and serif detailing, maintaining consistency with the text color. The slanted forms and tapered terminals create strong directional movement across a line, which helps italicized passages stand out while still feeling integrated with traditional serif typography.
