This is an italic serif with a calligraphic, oldstyle construction and moderate stroke modulation. Serifs are finely bracketed, and terminals frequently end in tapered, slightly flared shapes that reinforce a penned rhythm. The overall texture is open and readable, with compact, slanted capitals and more cursive, flowing lowercase forms; joins and curves feel smooth rather than mechanical. Figures are lining and italicized, matching the text angle and sharing the same crisp, sculpted edges.
It suits book and editorial typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, citations, or introductions, and it also works well for literary titles and pull quotes. The refined modulation and traditional detailing make it appropriate for formal communications such as invitations and programs, especially where a classic tone is desired.
The font conveys a classic, bookish tone with a touch of theatrical flair typical of traditional italics. Its movement and tapering details feel elegant and expressive without becoming ornate, suggesting formality, tradition, and cultivated taste.
The design appears intended as a conventional text italic that balances readability with a distinctly calligraphic texture. Its bracketed serifs, moderate contrast, and energetic cursive shapes aim to provide an expressive companion for long-form typography and formal editorial use.
Capitals show restrained, wedge-like finishing and a consistent rightward slant, while the lowercase includes distinctive italic features such as a single-storey a and a looped, descending g. Curves (notably in O/Q) are generous and smooth, helping maintain clarity in continuous text while preserving a lively, handwritten cadence.
