This typeface is a right-leaning serif with sturdy, squared slab-like serifs that remain fairly consistent across strokes, giving it a grounded, print-oriented texture. Letterforms show softly bracketed joins into the slabs and a gently modulated, calligraphic rhythm rather than sharp geometric construction. Uppercase proportions feel traditional with open counters and restrained detailing, while the lowercase keeps a readable, text-friendly structure with a two-storey a and a compact, rounded e. Numerals appear oldstyle with varying heights and descenders, matching the flowing, editorial cadence of the letters.
Well-suited to book and editorial typography where an italic with strong serifs is needed for emphasis, citations, or extended passages. It can also work for magazine features, pull quotes, and formal communication where a traditional yet sturdy italic texture is desirable.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a calm, cultivated voice suited to long-form reading. Its italic slant and slab presence balance elegance with firmness, suggesting an academic or editorial setting rather than overtly decorative display.
The design appears intended as a readable, text-oriented italic that pairs classical serif proportions with confident slab serifs, aiming for a stable page color and clear emphasis without becoming overly delicate.
Spacing appears generous and even, contributing to clarity in continuous text. The italic angle is consistent and the slabs provide clear word shapes, especially in capitals and the more vertical lowercase stems.
