A classic italic serif with moderate stroke contrast and clear calligraphic influence. The letterforms show a rightward slant, bracketed wedge-like serifs, and gently tapered terminals, with smooth transitions from thick to thin. Curves are round and open, counters are generous, and the overall rhythm is even and readable, with slightly lively, varying character widths across the alphabet and numerals.
Well-suited for long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, especially for italics in body copy, quotations, introductions, and annotations. It can also serve in refined branding or cultural materials where a conventional serif italic is needed without calling attention to itself.
The font conveys a traditional, literary tone—cultured and composed rather than decorative. Its italic energy feels editorial and expressive, suitable for emphasizing passages while maintaining a reserved, authoritative voice.
Likely designed as a dependable, traditional italic companion for text typography, aiming for sustained readability and familiar bookish color while adding graceful emphasis through calligraphic stroke modulation and bracketed serifs.
The lowercase italic forms read as true italics rather than simply slanted romans, with single-storey shapes where expected and a flowing connection between strokes. Numerals follow the same serifed, moderately contrasted construction, keeping a consistent texture in mixed text.
