This typeface is an italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and bracketed serifs throughout. Strokes show moderate contrast, with tapered joins and softly flared terminals that give the letterforms a slightly calligraphic texture. The capitals are relatively narrow and upright in structure despite the slant, while the lowercase is more cursive in rhythm, with compact bowls, a single-storey “g,” and a lively, forward-moving line. Overall spacing feels text-oriented, with even color at paragraph sizes and clear differentiation between stems, counters, and serifs.
It works well for continuous reading in editorial layouts, book interiors, and magazine typography, particularly where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or introductions. The crisp serifs and moderate contrast also make it suitable for refined headings and pull quotes when set with comfortable leading.
The design conveys a classic, bookish tone—polished and traditional rather than expressive or decorative. Its slanted forms and gently tapered details add a sense of motion and elegance, suitable for formal or literary contexts.
The font appears designed to provide a conventional, readable italic companion with a traditional serif structure and a measured amount of calligraphic character. Its intent seems focused on maintaining an even text color and familiar proportions while adding elegant movement through slant and tapered detailing.
Figures appear oldstyle in behavior, mixing ascenders/descenders and aligning comfortably with the lowercase rhythm. The italic “w” and “m” have sharp entry strokes and compact arches, and many letters finish with subtly curved, pen-like terminals that reinforce the lively texture without becoming overly ornate.
