This typeface is an italic serif with sturdy, bracketed serifs and a gently calligraphic construction. Strokes show moderate thick–thin modulation with rounded joins, giving the forms a warm, oldstyle feel rather than a sharp modern one. The italic slant is consistent and fairly pronounced, with softly tapered terminals and confident wedge-like serifs that support dense text. Proportions are slightly compact with a stable rhythm; counters are open and the curves are generous, helping maintain clarity in both capitals and lowercase.
It performs well for book and long-form editorial settings where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or running commentary. The strong serifs and moderate contrast also make it suitable for headings and pull quotes that aim for a classic, print-oriented character without sacrificing readability.
The overall tone is traditional and literate, evoking printed books, editorial typography, and academic materials. Its italic energy reads expressive but controlled, suggesting emphasis, refinement, and heritage without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended as a conventional, text-focused italic serif that balances traditional forms with a lively, calligraphic slant. It prioritizes steady texture, comfortable reading rhythm, and a familiar literary tone for use in editorial and book typography.
Capitals appear solid and slightly condensed in feel, with confident serifs and a steady baseline presence, while the lowercase leans into cursive-like motion in letters such as a, e, g, and y. Numerals are robust and similarly angled, matching the text color of the alphabet and reinforcing the font’s suitability for running copy.
