This is an italic serif with a flowing, calligraphic construction and gently bracketed wedge serifs. Strokes show a modest contrast and a consistent diagonal stress, with tapered terminals that keep the outlines crisp and agile. Proportions feel traditional and slightly condensed in the lowercase, with compact counters and a relatively small x-height that gives the face a tall, elegant profile. The capitals are poised and open, pairing smoothly with the slanted lowercase, while figures appear lining and similarly angled, maintaining an even rhythm in text.
It fits extended reading in books and long-form editorial layouts, especially where an italic companion is needed for emphasis, quotations, or captions. The refined construction also suits formal front matter, literary titles, and tasteful invitations or programs where a classic italic serif tone is desired.
The overall tone is bookish and cultivated, suggesting a classical, editorial voice rather than a loud display personality. Its slant and tapered details add a sense of motion and sophistication, producing a refined, slightly ceremonial feel well suited to traditional typography.
The design appears intended as a conventional text italic that balances classical serif cues with a smooth, readable rhythm. Its restrained contrast and tapered detailing aim to provide elegance and clarity in continuous text rather than headline impact.
Spacing appears measured and text-oriented, with an even color on the page and clear word shapes driven by the italic ductus. Distinctive, slightly calligraphic forms in letters like the single-storey italic ‘a’ and ‘g’ and the descending ‘f’ help reinforce an oldstyle reading texture without becoming overly ornamental.
