This typeface is a slanted serif with moderately tapered strokes and clear stroke modulation that gives it a gently calligraphic rhythm. Serifs are bracketed and often slightly flared, with occasional entry/exit flicks that add movement, especially in the lowercase. Proportions feel traditional and text-oriented: rounded letters are open and steady, capitals are slightly narrow with elegant curves, and the lowercase shows a modest x-height with relatively long ascenders and descenders. Numerals follow the same italic, serifed construction, maintaining consistent contrast and a smooth, continuous flow across words.
Well-suited for book and magazine typography where an italic is needed for emphasis, quotations, and cited titles. It can also serve in refined headings, invitations, and branded editorial materials where a traditional serif italic voice is desired without excessive flourish.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, suggesting editorial polish rather than display theatrics. Its italic energy feels expressive but controlled, giving text a literary, traditional voice appropriate for formal communication.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with a touch of calligraphic liveliness, balancing readability with expressive stroke endings. It aims to provide a polished, classic italic color for continuous text while still feeling distinctive in short display lines.
In running text the italic slant and curved terminals create strong directional motion, while the moderate contrast and sturdy serifs keep lines from feeling fragile. Several characters show subtle swash-like finishing strokes, which can add personality in headlines or pull quotes while remaining compatible with extended reading.
