A slanted serif with a smooth, calligraphic rhythm and subtly flared terminals. Strokes are even in color with gentle modulation, and the serifs read as soft wedges rather than sharp hairlines. Curves are open and round (notably in C, O, and lowercase o/e), while diagonals in V/W/X/Y feel brisk and clean. The lowercase shows a traditional, readable structure with a single-storey a and g, a modestly curved f, and a slightly tapered, airy texture aided by generous sidebearings.
This face fits extended reading in editorial layouts, essays, and book interiors where an italic voice is needed without excessive contrast. It also works well for refined brand systems, cultural institutions, and invitations or certificates that benefit from a graceful, classical tone.
The overall tone is polished and bookish, combining classical letterform manners with a lightly humanist, handwritten ease. It feels poised and formal without becoming stiff, making it well suited to sophisticated, editorial settings.
The design appears intended to provide a versatile italic serif with a literary, traditionally informed feel and a soft, contemporary smoothness. Flared stroke endings and open, readable counters suggest an emphasis on elegant text setting and comfortable rhythm over display theatrics.
Uppercase forms are relatively wide and composed, with understated entry/exit strokes that reinforce the italic flow. Numerals appear oldstyle-influenced in posture and proportions, blending smoothly with the text color rather than standing rigidly apart.
