A slanted serif text face with bracketed serifs and clearly modulated strokes. The letterforms show an oldstyle structure with a gentle diagonal stress, soft curves, and tapered terminals that keep the texture lively without becoming sharp. Capitals are sturdy and slightly wide in stance, while the lowercase maintains an even rhythm with compact counters and well-controlled joins. Numerals follow the same italic, modulated logic, reading clearly while matching the overall texture.
Well-suited to long-form reading environments such as books, essays, and magazine features where an italic serif is needed for emphasis, quotations, or secondary text. It also works for refined titling and pull quotes when a classic, editorial voice is desired.
The font conveys a traditional, bookish tone—measured and cultivated, with a quiet sense of authority. Its italic angle and calligraphic modulation add warmth and motion, suggesting editorial polish rather than display dramatics.
The design appears intended as a conventional italic companion for text typography, aiming for readability and an established serif tradition while adding a modest calligraphic cadence. It prioritizes steady paragraph texture and familiar forms for comfortable, formal communication.
Spacing appears balanced for continuous reading, producing a consistent gray value in the paragraph sample. The italic forms remain disciplined and typographic, favoring clarity over flourish, with restrained entry/exit strokes and minimal ornament.
