A slanted serif text face with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a moderately modulated stroke. The italic construction is clearly calligraphic, with diagonal stress in round forms and gently tapered terminals. Proportions are balanced and readable, with a conventional x-height and open counters; the rhythm is smooth and continuous across words. Capitals feel stately and slightly restrained, while the lowercase shows lively entry/exit strokes and subtle curvature that keeps long text from looking rigid.
Well-suited to continuous reading in books, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine typography where an italic serif is needed for emphasis, quotes, or a refined secondary voice. It can also serve for formal invitations or headings when a classic, traditional tone is desired without excessive flourish.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking book typography and academic or editorial settings. Its italic voice reads as expressive but controlled—more literary than decorative—bringing a sense of polish and authority without becoming ornate.
The design appears intended as a conventional italic serif for comfortable text composition, combining classic serif detailing with a steady, modernized regularity. Its goal seems to be dependable readability with a refined, literary character.
Numerals follow the same italic slant and modulation, integrating cleanly with text. The letterforms maintain consistent inclination and spacing, producing an even color in paragraphs while still preserving the characteristic movement of an italic serif.
