A classic italic serif with flowing, calligraphic construction and clear, bracketed wedge serifs. Strokes show moderate contrast with gently tapered joins and subtly cupped or angled terminals, creating a lively diagonal rhythm. Capitals are stately and slightly narrow in feel, while the lowercase has compact proportions, a moderate x-height, and pronounced entry/exit strokes that emphasize movement. Numerals appear oldstyle, with varying heights and alignments that blend naturally into running text.
Well-suited for literary and editorial contexts such as book interiors, essays, and magazine features, especially for emphasis, quotations, or section openers. It also works effectively in formal invitations or academic materials where a conventional italic serif tone is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, evoking editorial credibility and a quiet sense of refinement. Its italic motion reads expressive without becoming decorative, supporting an elegant, composed voice suited to long-form reading.
Likely intended as a versatile, traditional italic for text typography, balancing legibility with a graceful, historically informed serif form. The oldstyle numerals and moderate contrast suggest a design aimed at harmonious integration in continuous reading rather than showy display.
The italic slant is consistent across the alphabet, and the design maintains a steady color in paragraphs despite the active stroke endings. Round letters remain open and balanced, while angled letters and diagonals contribute to a slightly crisp, engraved-like texture at display sizes.
