A slanted serif with calligraphic construction and bracketed wedge serifs, showing a clear diagonal stress and gently modulated strokes. Curves are open and smooth with tapered joins, and the italic angle is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures. Uppercase forms are stately and well-proportioned, while the lowercase shows lively entry/exit strokes and slightly varied widths that create a textured rhythm in running text. Numerals follow the same serifed, gently tapered logic, blending comfortably with the letterforms.
Well-suited for book typography, editorial layouts, and magazine text where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or introductions. It also fits literary titles, pull quotes, and institutional communications that benefit from a traditional serif tone.
The font conveys a classic, literary tone with an editorial polish. Its italic flavor feels traditional and cultivated rather than flamboyant, suggesting a measured elegance suited to established institutions and long-form reading.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable serif italic that complements classic text typography. It prioritizes steady rhythm and familiarity, providing an elegant emphasis style for continuous reading and editorial hierarchy.
Letterforms show a restrained, oldstyle-leaning softness in terminals and serifs, avoiding sharp modern hairlines while still keeping edges clean. Spacing appears balanced for paragraphs, and the slant adds momentum without sacrificing clarity at text sizes.
