A slanted serif with bracketed serifs and a moderately calligraphic construction. Strokes show clear modulation and an oblique stress, with smooth, rounded joins and tapered terminals that keep counters open. Proportions are slightly compact with a steady rhythm, and the italic forms use traditional, flowing shapes (notably in the lowercase) that read as text-oriented rather than display-driven. Numerals appear oldstyle with varying heights and descenders, matching the italic texture and maintaining consistent weight and color across the set.
Well-suited for long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or secondary hierarchy. It can also support refined branding, invitations, and institutional materials that benefit from a traditional serif texture and a confident, legible slant.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, with a composed, editorial elegance. Its italic flavor feels traditional and human, suggesting careful, cultivated typography rather than overt stylization.
Likely designed to provide a dependable, traditional italic companion for conventional serif typography, balancing expressive calligraphic cues with the restraint and regularity needed for continuous text.
The italic angle is pronounced enough to signal emphasis clearly, while the moderate contrast and sturdy serifs preserve legibility at text sizes. Uppercase letterforms keep a stately, conventional presence, and the lowercase maintains a continuous, readable cursive rhythm suitable for extended passages.
