A slanted serif with bracketed, wedge-like terminals and a calligraphic, slightly tapered stroke model. Curves are smooth and open, with moderate modulation that keeps the texture crisp without feeling delicate. Capitals are broad and stately, while the lowercase shows a more fluid rhythm with gently swelling stems, rounded joins, and occasional flourished terminals. Numerals follow the same italicized, old-style-inspired flow, integrating well with text rather than standing rigidly apart.
Well-suited to long-form reading environments such as books and magazines, especially for editorial layouts that benefit from an elegant italic voice. It also works effectively for pull quotes, intros, captions, and formal invitations or announcements where a traditional serif with a touch of flourish is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, with an elegant, cultured warmth. Its italic motion gives it a lively, expressive cadence that reads as refined and editorial rather than mechanical or purely utilitarian.
The font appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with a polished, literary character—balancing readability with a controlled amount of calligraphic expression for emphasis and tone.
The design maintains a consistent rightward slant and a steady baseline rhythm, producing an even, readable color in paragraphs. Serifs stay comparatively compact and well-bracketed, helping the face remain clean at text sizes while still offering a distinctly classic personality.
