This typeface is a slanted serif with moderately bracketed serifs and softly tapered terminals. Strokes show clear, traditional modulation and a diagonal stress, giving rounds a slightly calligraphic shading. Proportions are fairly compact with sturdy stems and open counters; the lowercase shows a two-storey “a” and “g,” and the overall rhythm stays even across text. Capitals are broad and steady, with crisp joins and gently flared feet that add stability without becoming slab-like.
Well suited for continuous text in books and long-form editorial layouts where a classic italic texture is desired. It can also serve as a primary text face for magazines, essays, and formal communications, and scales up cleanly for pull quotes and subheads without losing its traditional character.
The overall tone feels traditional and bookish, with an editorial polish. Its italic slant and moderated contrast add warmth and motion, suggesting a refined, literary voice rather than a sharp modern one.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, readable serif texture with an italic voice that remains restrained and dependable. It emphasizes familiar letterforms, comfortable spacing, and a balanced modulation to support extended reading while still conveying a classic, cultivated tone.
Numerals read like oldstyle figures, with varied heights and a more text-oriented rhythm than lining figures. The italic construction is consistent across both cases, with angled joins and slightly asymmetric shapes that help maintain flow in continuous reading.
