A slanted serif with calligraphic construction and gently bracketed serifs. Strokes show a clear diagonal stress with modest contrast, and terminals often taper into rounded, slightly teardrop-like endings. The letterforms are compact and well knit, with a lively rhythm driven by the consistent italic angle, curved entry/exit strokes, and subtly varied widths across the alphabet. Numerals share the same flowing, oldstyle sensibility, with soft curves and angled axis rather than rigid geometry.
Works well for long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where an italic voice is needed for emphasis or a more narrative texture. It also suits pull quotes, poetry, and refined branding or packaging where a traditional serif tone with visible movement is desirable.
The overall tone is classic and literary, leaning elegant without feeling brittle. Its motion and softly shaped terminals give it a welcoming, humanist warmth suited to expressive reading rather than austere formality.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, readable serif italic with a distinctly calligraphic rhythm—balancing familiarity with enough gesture and tapering detail to feel crafted in continuous text.
Caps are relatively calm and open, while the lowercase carries more of the personality through its pronounced cursive-like joins and curved strokes. The italic slope is consistent across letters and figures, helping paragraphs hold together with a smooth, continuous texture.
