This is a classic italic text serif with bracketed, tapered serifs and gently modulated strokes. The letterforms show a consistent rightward slant, with smooth, calligraphic curvature in bowls and diagonals and crisp, pointed terminals in places such as V, W, and y. Proportions are balanced for reading, with open apertures and clear counters; numerals follow the same italic rhythm and include a swashed, flowing 9 that reinforces the handwritten influence. Overall spacing reads even and composed, giving lines a steady, traditional texture.
It suits extended reading contexts such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where an italic companion is needed for emphasis and voice. The refined rhythm also works well for pull quotes, introductions, and literary or cultural titles that benefit from a classic, elevated tone.
The font conveys a composed, literary tone—polished and cultivated rather than decorative. Its italic movement and sharp finishing details suggest formality and editorial sophistication, evoking bookish, classical, and slightly romantic associations.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-readability italic serif that captures calligraphic energy without sacrificing typographic restraint. It prioritizes smooth text flow, clear differentiation, and a traditional palette of forms suitable for editorial typography.
Uppercase forms feel measured and stately with restrained flourish, while lowercase italic traits are evident in the single-storey a and g and the looping, descending forms in f and y. The italic angle is consistent across letters and figures, supporting cohesive paragraph color in continuous text.
