This is a slanted serif with a calligraphic construction and gently modulated strokes. Serifs and stroke endings often widen into subtle flares, with soft, bracketed joins that keep the texture smooth rather than sharp. Letterforms show open counters and a slightly varied rhythm, with long, clean diagonals and rounded curves that stay controlled. Figures follow the same italic flow, with clear, angled stress and refined proportions suited to continuous reading.
It works well for editorial typography, book interiors, and magazine features where an italic with refinement and readability is needed. It can also serve for literary titles, pull quotes, and formal invitations when a classic, polished voice is desired.
The overall tone is elegant and bookish, projecting a traditional, cultured feel with a light, graceful cadence. Its italic movement adds warmth and momentum, giving text a poised, literary voice rather than a purely technical one.
The design appears intended to provide a readable, traditional italic with a calligraphic foundation and subtly expressive terminals, balancing sophistication with steady text texture.
Capitals are restrained and stately, while lowercase forms carry most of the motion, producing a cohesive reading line with gentle emphasis. The design avoids heavy ornamentation, relying instead on flare, curvature, and consistent stroke logic for character.
