A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs that read as classical rather than slab. The stroke axis feels calligraphic, with tapered joins and subtly cupped terminals that give the forms a lively, handwritten-influenced rhythm. Uppercase proportions are generous and open, while the lowercase shows a traditional, bookish skeleton with compact bowls, clear counters, and an energetic italic flow. Numerals follow the same high-contrast, slightly calligraphic treatment, keeping the texture consistent in running text.
Well-suited to editorial design such as books, magazines, and long-form articles where an elegant italic voice is needed for emphasis or lead-ins. It also performs effectively in headlines, pull quotes, and formal branding applications that benefit from a classic, high-contrast serif texture.
The overall tone is polished and literary, evoking traditional publishing and formal correspondence. Its animated italic movement adds warmth and emphasis without becoming casual, producing a confident, cultivated voice suited to established institutions and editorial contexts.
Likely designed as a conventional, readable serif with an expressive italic meant to provide clear hierarchy and a refined tone. The combination of classical proportions, bracketed serifs, and calligraphic modulation suggests an intention to balance tradition with lively, contemporary clarity in text and display settings.
In the sample text, the italic angle and contrast create a strong typographic color that stands out well for emphasis and display-sized passages. The shapes maintain a consistent rhythm across mixed case, with distinctive, sharp serifs and tapered finishing strokes that reinforce the classic text-seriffed character.
