A slanted, oldstyle serif with softly bracketed wedge serifs and a clear calligraphic underpinning. Strokes show gentle, moderate contrast with tapered terminals and smooth joins, giving the letterforms an elastic, handwritten rhythm rather than a rigid mechanical feel. Proportions are traditional and balanced, with round characters kept open and counters generous; the lowercase maintains an even, readable texture while the capitals feel slightly wider and statelier. Figures follow the same serifed, italic construction and sit comfortably alongside text without drawing undue attention.
It suits extended reading in print-oriented layouts such as book interiors, essays, and magazine features, where its italic texture can add emphasis without sacrificing clarity. It also works well for literary titling, epigraphs, pull quotes, and formal correspondence that benefits from a classic italic voice.
The font conveys a cultured, bookish tone with a hint of elegance from its italic movement and restrained contrast. It feels appropriate for established, traditional settings—polished and thoughtful rather than decorative or playful.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable serif italic that brings traditional text typography into a fluent, calligraphy-informed form. Its goal seems to be dependable paragraph color with enough personality for editorial emphasis and refined display moments.
The italic angle is pronounced enough to create flow across words, and the entry/exit strokes on letters like a, f, and y reinforce a continuous cursive cadence. Serifs remain crisp but not sharp, which helps the overall color stay smooth in longer passages.
