This typeface is a slanted serif with subtly flared stroke endings and a calligraphic, humanist construction. Strokes show modest modulation, with tapered joins and soft, wedge-like terminals that keep the texture open rather than sharp. Proportions lean traditional: capitals are stately with generous curves, while lowercase forms are compact with a relatively short x-height, creating a slightly top-heavy, bookish rhythm. The italic angle is consistent, and the overall spacing reads even, producing a smooth, continuous flow in text.
It suits editorial typography where a traditional voice with added movement is desired—books, magazine features, essays, and pull quotes. The lively italic presence also makes it effective for literary titling, cultural branding, and packaging that benefits from a refined, humanist feel.
The tone is cultured and literary, combining classical serif manners with a gentle handwritten energy. It feels elegant without being brittle, projecting warmth and narrative character suitable for long-form reading and expressive titling.
The design appears intended to merge classic serif readability with a more personal, calligraphy-informed italic texture. Flared endings and tapered terminals suggest an aim for warmth and fluidity while retaining a composed, editorial polish.
Numerals and capitals maintain the same flared, tapered finishing as the letters, helping mixed-case settings feel cohesive. The slant and terminal shapes add motion in words, while the restrained contrast keeps the color steady across lines.
