This typeface is a slanted serif with a light, open color and gently modulated strokes. Letterforms show bracketed serifs and softly tapered terminals, with a slightly calligraphic construction that keeps curves smooth and joins fluid. Proportions are on the broad side with generous counters, giving the alphabet an airy rhythm in both upper- and lowercase. The italic angle is consistent, and the figures match the overall texture with similarly rounded, lightly finished forms.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as books, long-form articles, and literary or academic material where a classic serif italic voice is needed. It can also work for formal correspondence, invitations, and cultured branding applications that benefit from an elegant, traditional slanted serif presence.
The overall tone feels classic and literary, with a poised, bookish elegance. Its slant and subtle pen-like modulation add warmth and motion, lending a refined, traditional voice rather than a rigid or mechanical one. The result is formal enough for editorial settings while remaining personable and readable.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, readable serif with an italicized, gently calligraphic character—balancing traditional book typography cues with a lighter, more spacious texture for comfortable setting and graceful emphasis.
Capitals are round and open, with a restrained, traditional silhouette; the Q includes a clear tail, and the S has a smooth, balanced curve. The lowercase shows a relaxed, oldstyle flavor with rounded bowls and modest ascenders/descenders that keep lines even. Numerals appear harmonious with the letters and maintain the same understated contrast and finishing.
