This is a slanted serif with a graceful, calligraphic construction and moderate thick–thin modulation. Serifs are small and mostly bracketed, with tapered terminals and occasional teardrop-like endings that soften the joins. Curves are broad and open, counters are generous, and many strokes finish with subtle flicks that give the alphabet a gently mannered rhythm. Capitals feel slightly expansive and airy, while the lowercase shows a traditional italic flavor with lively entry strokes and a softly curling descender on letters like j and y.
It works best where a sophisticated italic voice is needed: book and magazine display, pull quotes, headings, and elegant printed pieces such as invitations or certificates. The distinctive serif flicks and open forms also suit premium packaging and branding accents, especially at medium to large sizes where the tapered details can be appreciated.
The overall tone is refined and literary, with a poised, old-world elegance that reads as formal without feeling rigid. Its motion and tapered details add a slightly romantic, handwritten spirit suited to expressive, cultured settings.
The design appears intended to provide a polished, traditional italic with a touch of decorative flair—balancing classic serif proportions with calligraphic terminals and a more expressive, text-forward rhythm.
In running text, the italic angle and brisk stroke endings create a continuous forward momentum. The figures appear oldstyle-leaning in feel (with varied shapes and flowing terminals), matching the text’s calligraphic character and reinforcing a cohesive, classic color on the page.
