This italic serif shows a calligraphic, oldstyle construction with bracketed serifs and gently tapered strokes. Curves have an angled, pen-like stress and rounded terminals, while the capitals keep a composed, slightly narrow stance with modest flourish. The lowercase is fluid and moderately compact, with clear differentiation between straight stems and swelling curves; spacing feels even but with lively width changes across glyphs. Numerals follow the same italic rhythm, with rounded forms and traditional proportions that suit continuous text.
It performs well in editorial settings such as books, long-form articles, and magazine layouts where an italic serif can carry extended reading with a classic texture. It also suits literary titles, quotations, pull quotes, and refined short-form applications like invitations or cultural-program materials.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a warm, cultivated feel that recalls traditional editorial typography. Its slanted rhythm and pen-influenced details add a touch of sophistication without becoming overly ornate, giving it a formal but approachable voice.
The font appears intended as a traditional, readable italic serif with calligraphic cues, balancing historic book-type mannerisms with a clean, consistent drawing. Its goal seems to be providing a cultured, text-friendly voice that can also lend elegance to display lines.
The design maintains consistent serif treatment across cases, and the italic angle is steady, producing a cohesive texture in paragraphs. Rounded joins and subtly softened corners help the face read smoothly at text sizes while still offering distinctive character in headings.
