A conventional serif with an italic slant and a distinctly calligraphic rhythm. Strokes show moderate thick–thin modulation with tapered joins and bracketed serifs, producing a crisp yet fluid texture. The uppercase is compact and sturdy with strong vertical emphasis and traditional proportions, while the lowercase is more animated, with angled terminals, softly curved entry strokes, and a slightly narrow set that keeps lines tight and efficient. Numerals follow the same oldstyle-leaning, drawn quality, with open counters and gently sweeping curves that read clearly at text sizes.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and articles, especially where an elegant italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, captions, and lead-ins. It can also support refined print applications such as programs, invitations, and packaging where a classic serif texture is desired.
The overall tone feels traditional and literary—appropriate for serious reading, editorial settings, and heritage-flavored branding. The italic adds motion and warmth, balancing formality with a human, handwritten underpinning.
Likely designed as a dependable, traditional text serif with an italic that carries genuine calligraphic energy. The aim appears to be comfortable readability with a cultured, time-tested look and a lively slanted companion for emphasis and hierarchy.
In continuous text the face maintains an even color and steady baseline, with enough contrast and serif definition to stay crisp without becoming brittle. The italic construction is expressive but controlled, lending emphasis without overpowering surrounding roman-style text.
