A slanted serif with a calligraphic, oldstyle construction and clearly bracketed serifs. Strokes show moderated thick–thin transitions and a lively, pen-like rhythm, with tapered terminals and softly modeled curves. Capitals are relatively narrow and poised, while lowercase forms read fluid and compact, with noticeable entry/exit strokes that help connect words visually. Numerals and punctuation follow the same italic logic, maintaining consistent slant, contrast, and delicate detailing.
This font is well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, where its slanted rhythm can add sophistication to body text and pull quotes. It also works effectively for elegant invitations, cultural programs, and brand typography that benefits from a classic, refined italic voice.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with an elegant, bookish presence that feels cultivated rather than showy. Its motion and subtle stroke modulation suggest traditional craftsmanship, lending a warm, editorial voice suited to refined messaging.
The design appears intended to provide a traditional italic companion with a distinctly calligraphic flow—balancing readability with expressive movement. It aims to evoke established print typography while offering enough personality for display lines and emphasis within text.
The italic angle is pronounced enough to feel intentionally expressive, yet the shapes remain orderly and conventional for continuous reading. Counters are moderately open and the serifs stay crisp without becoming overly sharp, helping the face retain a composed texture in paragraph settings.
