An italic serif with a calligraphic, oldstyle construction and moderate stroke modulation. Serifs are small and bracketed, with tapered terminals and soft joins that keep the forms lively rather than rigid. The rhythm is slightly irregular in an intentional way, with gently swelling bowls, angled cross-strokes, and a noticeable forward slant that gives the text a continuous, flowing texture. Uppercase proportions feel traditional and slightly narrow, while lowercase forms show more handwritten influence, including varied entry/exit strokes and curving descenders.
It suits editorial typography where an italic with character is desirable, such as book interiors, magazine features, pull quotes, and literary branding. The lively italic texture also works well for refined titles, packaging copy, and invitation-style materials where a classic tone is needed.
The font conveys a classic, bookish elegance with a warm, humanist tone. Its italic movement reads expressive and cultured, suggesting editorial sophistication rather than technical neutrality. Overall it feels traditional and refined, with just enough flourish to add personality.
The design appears intended to provide a distinctly expressive italic serif that retains readability while adding a traditional, humanist flavor. Its shapes prioritize flowing rhythm and calligraphic nuance, creating a polished but personable voice for text and display settings.
Figures are oldstyle-leaning in feel, matching the italic texture and serif detailing rather than standing apart as modern lining numerals. Stroke endings often resolve into teardrop-like tapers, and several letters show a gently calligraphic asymmetry that enhances the sense of motion in text.
