This is an oldstyle italic serif with moderate contrast and a smooth, calligraphy-led rhythm. Strokes show a consistent rightward inclination, with gently tapered terminals and bracketed serifs that feel carved rather than sharp. Counters are open and proportions are balanced, with a normal x-height and slightly lively, varied letter widths that keep text color from becoming monotonous. Curves and joins are rounded and controlled, giving the face a refined, continuous flow in both uppercase and lowercase.
Well suited to editorial typography and book work, especially for emphasis, quotations, or passages set in italic. It also works effectively for formal communications, cultural or academic materials, and refined branding that benefits from a traditional serif italic texture.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with an understated elegance that reads as traditional rather than trendy. Its italic voice feels expressive but disciplined, suggesting formality and cultivated taste without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with an oldstyle foundation: readable at paragraph sizes, visually graceful in motion, and cohesive across letters and figures. It aims to provide a dependable, classic italic tone that supports continuous reading while adding subtle warmth and sophistication.
Uppercase forms keep a dignified presence while remaining compatible with text settings, and the numerals follow the same italic logic with clear, readable shapes. The italic construction emphasizes motion and continuity, making the face feel especially comfortable in running lines where the slant and serifs create a steady horizontal pull.
