This typeface is a serif italic with a fluid, calligraphic construction and bracketed serifs. Strokes show a clear diagonal axis and moderate modulation, with softened joins and gently tapered terminals that keep the texture smooth in continuous text. Proportions feel generously spaced with open counters and a relaxed rhythm, while letterforms maintain consistent slant and cohesive curves across capitals, lowercase, and numerals.
It works well for editorial typography, book and magazine text, and other long-form settings where an italic with steady color is needed. The expressive italic forms also suit invitations, cultural branding, and pull quotes or emphasis where a traditional, crafted feel is desirable.
The overall tone is classic and literary, suggesting refinement without becoming brittle. Its italic voice feels expressive and human, giving text a warm, slightly ceremonial presence suited to polished reading and editorial contexts.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with an emphasis on readability and graceful motion. Its moderated contrast and broad, open forms aim to keep texture even while still conveying a classic, calligraphic character.
Capitals are broad and softly sculpted, pairing well with a lively lowercase that includes distinctive italic entry and exit strokes. Numerals follow the same italic logic, with curving figures and traditional shapes that blend naturally into running text.
