A slanted serif design with bracketed serifs, subtly flared terminals, and moderate stroke modulation. Letterforms lean on oldstyle proportions with rounded joins and slightly tapered strokes that keep counters open and readable. The italic construction is consistent across caps and lowercase, with a fluid rhythm, a double-storey “a,” and figures that follow the same gently calligraphic, serifed treatment. Overall spacing feels generous, emphasizing a steady horizontal flow and an even, text-oriented color.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where an italic serif voice is needed for continuous passages, introductions, or sidebars. It also works effectively for pull quotes, captions, and other typographic moments that benefit from a classical, text-first personality.
The face conveys a classic, bookish tone with a quietly formal, editorial presence. Its italic energy reads as cultured and traditional rather than flashy, lending an understated sense of refinement and authority.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that balances tradition and clarity, offering a familiar book-typography feel with smooth, calligraphic movement. Its detailing supports comfortable reading while providing enough character for editorial emphasis.
Capitals appear sturdy and conservative in structure, while the lowercase carries more motion through angled stress and curved entry/exit strokes. Numerals are clear and traditionally styled, harmonizing with the serif detailing and italic slant for continuous text settings.
