A delicate, right-leaning serif with calligraphic construction and tapered strokes. Serifs are sharp and slightly bracketed, with occasional swash-like terminals that flick outward, giving the forms a lively, handwritten cadence. Uppercase letters are narrow and flowing with pronounced entry/exit strokes, while lowercase forms are more cursive in feel, featuring looping descenders and gently irregular widths that create an organic rhythm. Numerals echo the same italic movement, with thin hairlines and curved, gestural turns.
This font suits short-to-medium display settings where its calligraphic italic character can be appreciated—titles, pull quotes, section openers, and refined packaging or branding. It can also work for formal stationery and invitations, especially when set with generous tracking and leading.
The overall tone is graceful and literary, suggesting formality without stiffness. Its animated terminals and flowing italic movement add a romantic, old-world flavor suited to expressive, cultured typography.
The design appears intended to evoke a traditional italic written with a pointed pen, translating that gesture into a decorative serif with heightened movement and elegant finishing strokes. It prioritizes charm and expression over strict uniformity, aiming for a classic, cultivated voice.
Spacing appears airy and the letterforms have a strong diagonal momentum, which makes the face feel more like a display italic than a workhorse text italic. Several glyphs (notably in the lowercase and some capitals) use extended strokes and curled terminals that can become prominent in tight settings.
