This is a conventional text serif in an italic style with moderate stroke contrast and crisp, bracketed serifs. The forms show a steady rightward slant and a calligraphic rhythm, with tapered joins, angled terminals, and gently modulated curves. Uppercase proportions feel traditional and sturdy, while the lowercase is compact and readable, with clear counters and a consistent, bookish texture. Numerals follow the same italic construction, with smooth curves and distinct silhouettes that remain legible at text sizes.
Well suited for book and long-form typography where an italic companion is needed for emphasis, foreign words, titles, and quotations. It also fits editorial layouts such as magazines or newspapers, and can serve cleanly in captions and subheads that benefit from a traditional, polished italic texture.
The overall tone is classic and literary, evoking printed books, editorial typography, and traditional correspondence. Its italic voice feels articulate and formal rather than flamboyant, adding emphasis with refinement and restraint. The subtle calligraphic influence lends a human, cultivated character while staying firmly within mainstream text-serif expectations.
The design appears intended as a dependable, conventional italic text serif that balances readability with a classical, print-informed tone. It prioritizes consistent rhythm and restrained elegance so it can carry extended reading while providing a clear, authoritative italic emphasis.
Stroke endings and serifs tend to be sharply defined, giving the face a crisp impression in print-like settings. The italic drawing is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, producing an even color in paragraphs and a clear hierarchy for emphasis in running text.
