A slanted serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a gently calligraphic stroke flow. The letterforms show moderate stroke modulation and angled stress, with open, readable counters and a steady, book-oriented rhythm. Proportions feel traditional, with slightly varied character widths and soft curves that taper into crisp terminals, giving the text a smooth, continuous texture in paragraphs.
Well-suited to long-form reading contexts such as books, essays, and magazine features, where a smooth italic texture is desirable. It also works effectively for emphasis, pull quotes, captions, and refined display lines where a traditional serif italic is expected.
The font conveys a classic, literary tone—polished and educated without feeling ornate. Its italic posture and tapered serifs add a subtle sense of motion and formality, suggesting editorial seriousness and cultivated taste.
The design appears intended as a conventional text italic that prioritizes comfortable readability and a familiar, classical voice. Its moderated contrast, bracketed serifs, and controlled slant aim to provide elegant emphasis and durable performance in extended editorial typography.
Uppercase forms are poised and conservative, while the lowercase carries more of the italic personality through curved entry/exit strokes and gently hooked terminals. Numerals follow the same serifed, slanted treatment, integrating cleanly with running text.
