This typeface is a serif italic with slender proportions and a steady, readable rhythm. Strokes show moderate contrast with tapered joins and bracketed serifs, giving the forms an oldstyle flavor rather than a sharp modern construction. The italic structure is clearly calligraphic: entry and exit strokes are fluid, terminals often finish with small teardrop or hooked shapes, and the lowercase includes single-storey forms with gentle, right-leaning movement. Counters are relatively open for the width, and the overall texture is even, with slightly varying letter widths that keep lines from feeling rigid.
Well-suited for long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, especially for emphasis, quotations, and secondary typography that needs a refined italic voice. It can also serve in magazine features, essays, and cultured branding where a classic serif texture is desired without looking heavy.
The tone is traditional and cultivated, with a literary, bookish feel. Its italic character reads as expressive yet controlled, suggesting a polite, editorial elegance rather than overt display.
The design appears intended to provide a graceful, historically informed italic companion for conventional serif typography, balancing clarity with a subtle calligraphic sparkle for comfortable text setting and nuanced emphasis.
Capitals remain restrained and upright in presence while still sharing the italic slant, producing a dignified headline color. Numerals follow the same italic cadence, with curved forms and tapered terminals that blend naturally into running text.
