This is a slanted serif with bracketed serifs and a distinctly calligraphic construction. Strokes show moderate contrast with diagonal stress, and many joins and terminals taper into sharp, slightly wedge-like finishes. The italic rhythm is lively and flowing: round letters lean with consistent angle, bowls are compact but open, and spacing stays readable even in the heavier lowercase. The capitals are upright in structure but follow the same italic logic, with crisp serifs and slightly tapered stems; numerals appear as oldstyle figures with ascenders/descenders and varied widths that add texture in text.
It performs well for editorial typography such as magazine features, book interiors, and pull quotes where an expressive italic is desirable. It also suits formal printed materials—programs, invitations, and literary branding—where a traditional serif voice and elegant emphasis are needed.
The font conveys a cultured, bookish tone—classic and formal without feeling stiff. Its energetic italic movement and sharp finishing details give it a confident, slightly dramatic voice suited to refined editorial typography.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that balances readability with expressive, calligraphy-derived detailing. Its moderate contrast and lively terminals aim to provide a graceful emphasis style and a classic typographic color in continuous reading.
In paragraph settings the texture is moderately dark and cohesive, with clear word shapes driven by the strong slant and pronounced entry/exit strokes. The italic ‘a’ and ‘g’ are single-storey, reinforcing the handwritten influence, while the figures and capitals contribute a traditional, literary color rather than a strictly modern, neutral feel.
