An italic serif with a steady rightward slant, bracketed serifs, and gently modulated strokes that keep contrast present but not sharp. Curves are full and slightly oval, with teardrop-like terminals and soft entry/exit strokes that suggest a calligraphic underpinning. Uppercase forms feel traditional and evenly proportioned, while the lowercase shows a rhythmic, flowing texture; ascenders are prominent without looking tall, and the overall spacing reads balanced and text-oriented. Numerals follow the same italic construction, with rounded bowls and subtly tapered ends that stay consistent with the letterforms.
Well suited for editorial typography such as book and magazine text, introductions, pull quotes, and other settings where an italic voice is needed for emphasis. It can also serve for refined headings or captions where a traditional serif italic texture is desirable.
The font conveys a classic, bookish tone—polished and composed rather than flashy. Its italic movement and soft terminals add a hint of formality and warmth, giving it a literary, editorial character suited to traditional typography.
Likely intended as a conventional serif italic built for sustained readability, offering clear emphasis and a classic typographic color. The restrained contrast and familiar proportions aim for dependable performance in text-forward design contexts.
The design prioritizes continuous reading rhythm: joins and curves are smooth, and the serif treatment stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures. The italic angle is noticeable but controlled, helping emphasis feel elegant rather than aggressive.
