A serif italic with a gentle calligraphic slant and softly modulated strokes. Serifs are bracketed and rounded into the stems, giving the letterforms a smooth, continuous flow rather than sharp, high-contrast drama. The capitals show restrained, traditional proportions with subtly flared entry/exit strokes, while the lowercase features compact, readable shapes and a single-storey “a” with a small ear and a single-storey “g” with a looping descender. Curves carry an angled stress, counters stay open, and spacing appears moderately generous for comfortable text rhythm; numerals follow the same oldstyle-leaning, slightly cursive construction.
Well suited for long-form reading contexts such as books, essays, and magazine features where a warm italic voice is needed. It also fits quotes, introductions, captions, and formal stationery applications that benefit from a traditional, literary feel without excessive flourish.
The overall tone is bookish and classical, with an inviting, human touch that reads as editorial rather than ornamental. Its italic is expressive without feeling flamboyant, lending a quiet sophistication suitable for refined, traditional typography.
The font appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that balances classical serif structure with gentle, calligraphic movement. Its moderated contrast, bracketed serifs, and open counters suggest an aim toward comfortable readability while providing a graceful emphasis style for editorial typography.
The design favors rounded joins and softened terminals, which helps maintain clarity at smaller sizes while still preserving a distinctly italic, handwritten influence. The slant and stroke endings create a lively line texture, especially in mixed-case settings and longer passages.
