A slanted serif with moderate stroke contrast and clearly bracketed, wedge-like serifs. The italic construction is evident in the forward lean and in the calligraphic joining logic of strokes, with diagonally stressed bowls and softly tapered terminals. Proportions feel classical rather than condensed, with open counters and a steady baseline rhythm. Capitals are stately and evenly weighted, while the lowercase shows more fluidity—especially in the curved forms and the long, descending tails on letters like g and y. Numerals follow the same italic, old-style-leaning feel, integrating smoothly with the text color.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as books, long-form articles, and magazine features where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotes, or secondary hierarchy. It can also serve in refined titling—chapters, pull quotes, invitations, and formal communications—where a classic serif italic texture supports a traditional tone.
The font conveys a bookish, cultivated tone—measured and traditional, with a gentle sense of motion from the italic angle. It reads as polite and authoritative rather than flashy, lending a quietly editorial character to headings and running text.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that prioritizes continuous reading and a familiar literary feel. Its moderate contrast, comfortable proportions, and classical serif detailing suggest a focus on dependable, print-like typography with an elegant slanted cadence.
Letterforms maintain consistent slant and contrast across cases, producing an even texture in paragraphs. Curves are rounded and slightly generous, and the serif/bracket transitions are smooth, avoiding hard, mechanical joins.
