This is an italic serif with moderate contrast and softly bracketed serifs. Strokes show a calligraphic flow with gently tapered terminals and smooth entry/exit strokes, producing a continuous, slightly cursive rhythm rather than a rigid oblique. Proportions feel traditionally bookish: rounded capitals with restrained detailing, a calm, readable lowercase with a single-storey “a,” and numerals that follow the same slanted, serifed logic. Overall spacing appears even in text, with a cohesive diagonal stress and consistent serif treatment across letters and figures.
Well-suited to long-form reading and editorial typography, especially for emphasis, pull quotes, and italic styling within books or magazines. It can also serve for formal invitations, headings, and academic or cultural materials where a traditional italic voice is desired.
The font conveys a classic, literary tone—polished and cultured without feeling starkly modern. Its italic movement adds warmth and elegance, suggesting editorial sophistication and a slightly traditional, humanist sensibility.
The design appears intended as a conventional text-italic companion with a classical, book-oriented palette—prioritizing smooth rhythm, familiar serif forms, and dependable readability while adding expressive calligraphic motion.
The italic is pronounced enough to create momentum in running text while keeping counters open and shapes stable. The serif forms and terminals stay relatively delicate, giving a refined texture that reads as premium in display sizes yet remains composed in paragraph settings.
