A slanted serif with a calligraphic construction and gently bracketed serifs. Strokes show clear modulation with thin entry/exit hairlines and fuller main strokes, producing a crisp, slightly shimmering texture in text. Curves are open and rounded, with teardrop-like terminals and subtle hooks on several forms, while capitals remain relatively restrained and upright in proportion despite the italic angle. Spacing feels moderately generous, and the overall rhythm is smooth rather than mechanical.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book matter where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, captions, or pull quotes. It can also perform as a refined display italic for invitations, boutique branding, and packaging that benefits from a classical, crafted tone.
The font conveys a traditional, bookish sophistication with a polite, handwritten warmth. Its italic posture and tapered details read as refined and expressive, suited to settings where a sense of craft and classic taste is desired.
The design appears intended as a versatile, traditionally informed italic that balances legibility with expressive, calligraphy-derived details. It aims to provide a graceful companion for narrative and editorial settings while remaining polished enough for premium display applications.
Numerals and lowercase share the same flowing, tapered logic, giving a cohesive page color. The italic angle is noticeable but not overly steep, and the soft bracketing and curved terminals help maintain readability at text sizes while still feeling ornamental in larger display use.
