This typeface is an italic serif with a gently calligraphic construction and bracketed serifs throughout. Strokes show moderate thick–thin modulation with soft, tapered terminals and a smooth, continuous rhythm rather than sharp, mechanical joins. Proportions feel balanced and text-oriented: capitals are sturdy and slightly narrow, while lowercase forms are open and flowing, with rounded bowls and a consistent rightward slant. Numerals follow the same italic, humanist logic, with curved entries, varied widths, and a cohesive, pen-like texture across the set.
It suits long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, especially for emphasis, introductions, or quoted passages where a true italic voice is desirable. The refined, traditional texture also works well for formal printed materials such as invitations, programs, and cultural or academic collateral where an elegant serif italic is appropriate.
Overall it conveys a classic, literary tone—polished and traditional, with a touch of warmth from its handwritten, oldstyle influence. The italic angle and soft modulation add a sense of movement and elegance suitable for refined editorial settings.
The font appears intended as a conventional, readable italic companion with a humanist, calligraphic flavor—designed to provide clear emphasis in text while maintaining a composed, classic typographic color.
The design favors smooth curves and moderated details over sharp contrast, creating a calm page color in paragraphs. The italic forms read as purpose-built rather than merely slanted, with distinctive entry/exit strokes and confident, stable capitals that keep the style from feeling overly decorative.
