This typeface is a right-leaning serif with a calligraphic construction and tapered, flared terminals. Strokes show a noticeable thick–thin modulation, with widened stroke endings that soften joins and add a gently sculpted feel. Serifs are bracketed and often blend into the stems, while curves are generous and slightly asymmetric, contributing to an energetic texture. The lowercase is lively, with rounded bowls, a single-storey “g,” and compact, angled entry and exit strokes; figures are oldstyle-like in spirit with flowing shapes and a pronounced italic slant.
It performs well for editorial applications such as book typography, magazine features, and pull quotes where a classic italic voice is desired. The distinctive flared terminals and calligraphic motion also make it suitable for refined branding, packaging, and headlines that need a traditional yet expressive tone.
The overall tone is cultivated and bookish, evoking traditional editorial typography with a touch of handwritten elegance. Its italic energy and flared finishing strokes give it a warm, personable voice that still reads as established and formal.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif italic with visible pen-influenced modulation and softened, flared endings, balancing readability with expressive character. It prioritizes rhythmic flow and a crafted, human touch over strict geometric regularity.
Capitals are stately but not rigid, with soft transitions and subtle swelling that keeps the rhythm from feeling mechanical. The italic stance is consistent across letters and numerals, producing a continuous forward motion that suits longer phrases while remaining distinctive in display settings.
