This typeface is a delicate italic serif with a smooth, calligraphic construction and a gently modulated stroke. Serifs are fine and largely bracketed, with tapered terminals and occasional soft flicks that give the outlines a handwritten cadence without becoming script-like. Proportions are open and slightly extended, with generous counters and a flowing rhythm that stays consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals. Italic emphasis is clear in the forward slant and the shaped entry/exit strokes, while the overall color remains light and even in text.
It suits book and editorial typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or secondary text, and it also performs well in elegant display settings such as invitations and formal announcements. The fine detailing favors comfortable sizes and good reproduction, where its subtle modulation and terminals can remain clear.
The overall tone is refined and literary, suggesting traditional book typography and formal correspondence. Its lightness and fluent italic movement lend a graceful, cultivated character that feels more classic than modern, and more expressive than strictly utilitarian.
The design appears intended as a traditional text italic with a distinctly calligraphic underpinning—aiming to provide a graceful, readable companion to roman typography while retaining enough personality for refined display use.
Capitals read as poised and formal, while the lowercase shows more movement through curved joins and gently swashed terminals (notably in letters like a, f, g, and y). Numerals appear elegant and old-style in spirit, matching the text rhythm rather than standing as rigid lining figures.
