This is a slanted serif with bracketed serifs and a gently calligraphic construction. Strokes show clear but moderate contrast with angled stress, and the curves are smooth and slightly tapered rather than rigidly geometric. Uppercase forms feel classical and compact, while the lowercase has a fluid rhythm with lively joins and softly swelling terminals. Numerals follow the same italic, oldstyle-influenced flow, maintaining consistent weight and curvature across the set.
Well-suited for book and magazine typography, especially for emphasis, quotations, introductions, and other secondary text where an italic voice is needed. It can also work effectively in formal materials such as invitations or programs where a classical serif tone is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, with a poised, educated feel suited to long-form reading. Its italic slant adds motion and emphasis without becoming flamboyant, giving a refined, editorial voice that reads as established and trustworthy.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, readable italic companion with a classic serif palette—calligraphic enough to feel expressive, yet restrained enough for continuous editorial use.
Letterspacing appears balanced for text, with a steady baseline rhythm and controlled diagonals that keep words cohesive. The design favors smooth transitions and slightly generous curves, which helps maintain clarity at text sizes while preserving an expressive italic character.
