This typeface is a slanted serif with a traditional, oldstyle-influenced skeleton and moderate stroke modulation. Serifs are clearly bracketed and slightly flared, with smooth transitions into the stems and a consistent, text-oriented rhythm. Round letters show a gentle diagonal stress and open counters, while the lowercase includes a single-storey “a” and an energetic “g” with a prominent ear, reinforcing a calligraphic, editorial feel. Capitals are broad and steady with softly tapered terminals, and the figures appear proportional with similarly slanted, serifed construction.
It suits long-form reading contexts such as books, essays, and magazine features, where the steady rhythm and open forms support comfortable texture. It also works well for pull quotes, introductions, and cultured branding or packaging that benefits from a classic italic voice.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, suggesting bookish authority rather than display theatrics. Its slant and flowing joins add a touch of warmth and motion, making it feel inviting while still formal and composed.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that balances readability with a distinctly traditional, calligraphic character. It aims to provide a dependable editorial tone while adding gentle dynamism through slant, bracketed serifs, and oldstyle shaping.
In running text, the italic angle is confident and consistent, and the moderate contrast keeps color even without looking brittle. The ampersand and curved terminals carry a slightly lively, handwritten inflection that helps headings feel elegant without becoming ornate.
