This is a slanted serif with moderate stroke modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs throughout. Letterforms show a steady, bookish rhythm: apertures are generally open, counters are clear, and curves resolve with tidy, slightly calligraphic terminals. Capitals read poised and traditional, while the lowercase combines a modest x-height with distinctly italic construction (single-storey forms and flowing joins), giving the face a lively, text-oriented texture. Numerals follow the same italic inclination and maintain consistent weight and contrast with the letters.
Well suited to editorial typography such as book interiors, magazine features, essays, and long-form reading where an italic voice is needed. It also works effectively for pull quotes, captions, and refined brand copy that benefits from a classic serif presence.
The overall tone is literary and cultivated, suggesting classic publishing and formal communication rather than casual display. The italic slant and controlled contrast add a sense of motion and elegance without becoming ornate or decorative.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable serif italic for text composition—balancing traditional proportions and familiar serif detailing with enough calligraphic energy to stand out in emphasis roles.
Spacing appears comfortable for continuous reading, with a slightly varied, organic cadence across words that reinforces a traditional, humanist feel. The italic angle is noticeable but not extreme, keeping long passages legible while still providing emphasis and character.
