This typeface is a slanted serif with a calligraphic, pen-informed construction and gently bracketed serifs. Strokes show noticeable tapering and moderated contrast, with thin hairlines and slightly fuller main strokes that keep the texture light and open. Curves are smooth and elliptical, terminals often finishing in pointed or softly hooked forms, and the overall rhythm is lively due to varied character widths and the italic stance. Numerals and capitals maintain the same graceful, tapered treatment, producing a consistent, refined page color.
It suits editorial typography, book and magazine settings, and other long-form reading contexts where an elegant italic voice is needed. It also works well for literary titles, pull quotes, and formal collateral where a refined, traditional serif impression is desired.
The overall tone is literary and cultivated, leaning toward a classic editorial feel rather than a rigid, technical one. Its slant and tapered details add a sense of motion and sophistication, suggesting formality without becoming heavy or ornate.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional serif reading experience with a distinctly italic, calligraphy-adjacent character—prioritizing smooth rhythm, elegant tapering, and a polished, classical tone.
The italic angle is pronounced enough to read as expressive while still controlled for continuous text. Spacing appears even and the shapes keep a coherent baseline flow, with many letters showing subtly calligraphic entry and exit strokes that enhance continuity in words.
