This typeface is a right-leaning serif italic with a distinctly calligraphic build. Strokes show gentle modulation and tapered terminals, with stems that subtly widen into flared endings rather than ending bluntly. Serifs are small and bracketed, and the overall drawing favors angled stress and softly rounded joins, giving forms a fluid, handwritten rhythm while remaining clean and structured. Proportions feel traditional with moderate extenders; counters are open and the curves are smooth, producing an even, readable texture in continuous text.
Well suited to editorial typography, book and magazine text, and other long-form settings where an italic voice is needed for emphasis with strong readability. It also works effectively for refined branding, packaging, and invitations when a classic, expressive serif tone is desired.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with an elegant, slightly dramatic slant that reads as editorial and cultivated rather than casual. Its calligraphic energy adds warmth and personality, making it feel expressive and human without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended to provide a traditional italic with calligraphic nuance: a polished serif italic that adds emphasis and sophistication while keeping a controlled, text-friendly rhythm.
In the sample text, the italic rhythm is consistent and the spacing produces a cohesive line color suitable for paragraphs. Numerals follow the same italic, oldstyle-leaning character, integrating smoothly with lowercase text, while capitals retain a formal, inscriptional presence.
