A slanted serif design with moderate stroke modulation and clearly bracketed, wedge-like serifs. The letterforms show a traditional, calligraphic construction: diagonals and curves carry a gentle diagonal stress, terminals are subtly tapered, and joins are softly modeled rather than purely geometric. Proportions feel text-oriented with comfortable counters and a steady rhythm, while widths vary naturally from glyph to glyph, giving the line a lively, humanist color. Numerals follow the same italicized, oldstyle-leaning logic, with smooth curves and tapered ends that match the serif treatment.
Well-suited for long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, especially where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or introductory matter. It also fits branding and packaging that want a traditional, cultivated character without looking overly ornate.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a poised, slightly editorial flavor. Its italic slant and calligraphic detailing add warmth and motion, suggesting tradition and sophistication rather than overt display.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable italic serif with a classical, calligraphy-informed structure—balancing familiar book typographic norms with enough modulation and tapering to feel expressive and elegant in continuous text.
Uppercase forms are stately and slightly condensed in feel compared to the more flowing lowercase, which emphasizes rounded bowls and crisp entry/exit strokes. The italic angle is consistent, helping maintain an even texture in paragraph settings while preserving a handwritten nuance at larger sizes.
