This typeface is an italic serif with flowing, calligraphic construction and clearly bracketed serifs. Strokes show a consistent diagonal stress with moderate thick–thin modulation, giving letters a crisp, engraved feel without becoming delicate. Proportions run on the broad side with generous counters and open apertures; curves are smooth and round, while terminals often finish with tapered, slightly cupped ends. The italic angle is steady and the rhythm reads even across mixed case, with lining figures that share the same slanted, serifed treatment.
It fits extended reading contexts where an italic needs to carry emphasis with clarity—book typography, magazine and journal layouts, quotations, captions, and scholarly or legal material. The wide set and open counters help maintain legibility in dense paragraphs while preserving a traditional typographic color.
The overall tone is literary and classical, evoking traditional book typography and cultured editorial settings. Its italic voice feels purposeful and formal rather than casual, with a polished, historically informed character that suggests scholarship and refinement.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that delivers a classic, book-oriented voice with controlled contrast and dependable readability. Its construction prioritizes smooth word shapes, consistent slant, and traditional serif detailing to support continuous reading and formal emphasis.
Capital forms balance restrained elegance with sturdy structure, while the lowercase maintains clear differentiation between similar shapes through distinct serifs and tapered joins. Numerals appear well-integrated with the text color, maintaining similar contrast and curvature so they don’t feel like an add-on.
