This is a slanted serif with a crisp, calligraphic construction and bracketed serifs throughout. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation, with tapered terminals and a smooth, pen-like rhythm rather than mechanical uniformity. Capitals are proportioned and open, with sharp joins and neatly finished serifs; the lowercase has compact, slightly narrow forms with gently curved shoulders and an italic single-storey ‘a’. Numerals follow the same italic cadence, with slender figures and subtle entry/exit strokes that keep the line lively.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, and captions. It can also serve formal communications—such as invitations or programs—where a classic, refined tone is desired, and it should perform best at text to display sizes where its contrast and detailing remain clear.
The overall tone is cultured and traditional, with a poised, editorial feel. Its slant and stroke modulation add a sense of motion and sophistication, suggesting literature, heritage, and formality without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with a traditional, pen-influenced profile, offering a graceful companion style for continuous reading and typographic hierarchy. Its balanced proportions and careful serif finishing prioritize readability while preserving a distinctly classic, literary character.
Spacing appears moderately generous for an italic, helping counters stay open in running text. The italic angle is consistent across letters and figures, and the detailing in terminals and serifs gives the face a polished, print-oriented character.
