A slender, right-slanted serif with crisp bracketed serifs and a flowing, calligraphic construction. Strokes show gentle contrast with tapered terminals and a consistent diagonal stress, giving rounds a slightly teardrop feeling. Proportions are compact and upright caps remain narrow, while the lowercase features long ascenders and descenders with smooth joins and softly curved entry strokes. Numerals follow the same italic rhythm, with open curves and light, pointed finishing details.
Well-suited for editorial typography, book or chapter titles, pull quotes, and other settings where a refined italic voice is desired. It can also support formal branding and invitation-style materials where a classic serif with a graceful slant helps convey sophistication.
The overall tone is elegant and literary, with a poised, classical voice that suggests tradition and careful composition. Its slanted rhythm and tapered endings add a graceful, slightly romantic character without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended as a traditional, readable italic serif that balances classical proportions with a smooth, handwritten cadence. It aims to provide an expressive but controlled texture for emphasis and display within text-forward compositions.
Curves in letters like a, e, and g read as looped and gently drawn, while capitals keep a restrained, editorial formality. The design maintains an even texture in running text, relying more on stroke modulation and serif finesse than on heavy detailing.
