This typeface is a delicate italic serif with gently tapered strokes and softly bracketed serifs. The letterforms show a humanist, calligraphic construction: curves are open and elastic, joins are smooth, and terminals often finish with subtle teardrops or angled flicks. Capitals are graceful and slightly narrow with long, sweeping diagonals, while the lowercase maintains an even rhythm with moderate extenders and an italic single-storey ‘a’. Numerals follow the same flowing, oldstyle-leaning feel, with varying widths and a light, polished presence on the page.
It suits long-form editorial typography such as books, essays, and magazine features, especially where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or headings. The refined detailing also makes it appropriate for invitations, programs, and other formal print where a classic, cultured tone is desired.
The overall tone is cultivated and literary, conveying a sense of tradition and quiet sophistication rather than loud display. Its slanted, pen-like movement adds warmth and personal character, making text feel composed, editorial, and gently ceremonial.
The design appears intended to provide a traditional italic companion with a distinctly calligraphic flow, offering elegance and readability while preserving a historic, bookish texture. Its careful modulation and bracketed serifs suggest a focus on polished, conventional typography rather than experimental forms.
In the sample text, the spacing and italic angle create a continuous, forward-moving texture suited to sustained reading. The design balances crispness with softness: serifs and terminals are sharp enough to feel precise, but consistently rounded and bracketed to avoid harshness.
