A slanted serif with a smooth, calligraphic construction and subtly flared stroke endings that broaden toward terminals. Stems show gentle contrast and tapering, with bracket-like transitions into serifs and frequent wedge-shaped terminals. The uppercase feels spacious and classical with rounded bowls (C, G, O, Q) and crisp, angled joins, while the lowercase is more lively, showing a single-storey a and g, a softly looped f, and a long, descending j. Numerals are oldstyle-leaning in feel, with curving forms and angled stress that match the italic rhythm.
Works well for editorial typography, book and long-form reading where an italic voice is needed, as well as refined headings and pull quotes. It also suits invitations, cultural programs, and premium packaging that benefits from a classic, expressive serif with graceful movement.
The overall tone is cultured and expressive, leaning toward literary elegance rather than neutrality. Its italic energy reads as traditional and polished, with a slightly dramatic, editorial flavor that suits refined branding and formal text settings.
The design appears intended as an italic serif that balances traditional letterforms with calligraphic liveliness, using flared terminals and tapered strokes to create a refined, readable texture. It aims to provide an elegant, expressive typographic voice for both display accents and continuous text.
Curves are smooth and generously drawn, while diagonals and entry/exit strokes create a consistent rightward motion. Spacing appears comfortable in running text, and the design maintains a cohesive handwriting-influenced rhythm without becoming script-like.
