This is an italic serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a noticeably calligraphic construction. Strokes show moderate contrast and a diagonal stress, with tapered terminals and subtle swelling through curves. The italic angle is consistent across capitals and lowercase, producing a lively rightward rhythm. Lowercase forms are open and readable, with a two-storey “a,” a looped “g,” and relatively generous counters; the numerals follow the same oldstyle-leaning, slightly varied-width logic as the letters.
It suits long-form reading contexts such as books and editorial layouts, where its moderate contrast and open forms maintain clarity. The italic character also makes it a strong choice for emphasis, pull quotes, and literary or academic branding that benefits from a classic serif voice.
The overall tone feels traditional and bookish, with an editorial elegance that reads as established and trustworthy. Its italic movement adds warmth and a hint of formality, suggesting a voice suited to thoughtful, cultivated writing rather than stark modern minimalism.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, text-first serif italic with a distinctly calligraphic cadence—prioritizing smooth reading flow, familiar letterforms, and a refined, traditional tone in continuous composition.
Capitals keep crisp proportions and restrained ornamentation, while lowercase details (ear/terminal shapes and entry/exit strokes) contribute to a fluid texture in text. Spacing appears even in the sample paragraph, creating a steady gray value without looking rigid.
