A slanted serif with oldstyle proportions and a smooth, calligraphic rhythm. Strokes show moderate thick–thin variation with gently tapered terminals and bracketed serifs that stay crisp without feeling sharp. The italic construction is evident across capitals and lowercase, with soft entry/exit strokes, rounded bowls, and a generally open, readable texture. Figures follow the same angled, text-oriented logic, with clear shapes and consistent stress.
This font suits extended reading environments such as book and magazine typography, especially where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotes, or running text with a classical character. It can also work well for refined branding and packaging that benefits from a traditional, cultured tone.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking book typography and classical editorial work. Its italic energy adds a sense of movement and elegance while remaining disciplined and legible, giving it a poised, literary voice rather than a decorative one.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that balances calligraphic liveliness with steady readability. It prioritizes a familiar bookish texture, moderate contrast, and clean serif detailing to perform reliably in continuous text while still feeling elegant.
Spacing reads even and calm in paragraph settings, with a slightly generous horizontal feel that keeps lines from looking tight. The italic forms maintain a consistent slant and coherent serif treatment across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, supporting long-form use without visual fatigue.
