This is an italic serif with bracketed, slightly flared serifs and a smooth, calligraphic construction. Strokes show moderate contrast with an oblique axis, and curves transition cleanly into terminals, giving the letters a fluid rhythm. Uppercase forms feel traditional and sturdy, while the lowercase has more motion, with gently varied joins and tapered endings that keep texture lively in text. Numerals appear oldstyle, with ascenders and descenders that blend naturally into running copy.
It performs well in editorial typography—magazines, books, essays, and long-form reading—where an italic with clear structure and steady texture is needed. The lively slant also suits pull quotes, subtitles, and other emphasis in text-rich layouts, and it can lend a classic, formal tone to announcements and invitations.
The overall tone is bookish and refined, with a warm, humanist presence rather than a rigid or technical feel. Its energetic italic slant reads expressive and literary, suitable for emphasis that still feels formal and composed.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that adds warmth and emphasis while staying highly legible in continuous reading. Its moderate contrast, bracketed serifs, and calligraphic tapering suggest a focus on comfortable texture and a timeless, literary character.
In the sample text, the face maintains an even color and consistent cadence across long lines, while the italic movement adds sparkle without becoming overly decorative. The combination of strong capitals and more animated lowercase creates a clear hierarchy that works well for mixed-case settings.
