A slanted serif with bracketed terminals and a gently calligraphic construction. Strokes show clear, moderate contrast with angled stress in rounded letters, and the serif treatment is crisp without feeling sharp or brittle. Capitals are relatively upright in structure but follow the italic slant, while the lowercase is more fluid, with open counters and softly tapered joins. The numerals read as oldstyle figures with varying heights and pronounced curves, matching the text rhythm and maintaining a lively, variable texture across a line.
This font suits extended reading settings such as books, essays, and editorial layouts, especially where an italic voice is needed for emphasis or secondary text. It also works well for literary titling, pull quotes, and refined print applications that benefit from a traditional serif texture.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, with a polished, traditional voice. Its italic movement adds elegance and a slightly formal, literary feel, suitable for conveying authority without looking stiff.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional text-serif italic with a calm, classical rhythm, balancing legibility with a touch of calligraphic character. Its consistent slant, moderate contrast, and traditional proportions suggest a focus on reliable text setting rather than display theatrics.
Spacing appears comfortable for continuous text, and the shapes keep distinction between similar forms through open apertures and varied silhouettes (notably in the italic a, e, and f). The slant is consistent, and the serif detailing stays controlled, helping the face remain readable even at smaller sizes.
