An italic serif with flowing, calligraphic construction and bracketed wedge-like serifs. Strokes show moderate contrast with diagonally oriented stress, and terminals often finish in tapered, slightly hooked forms that reinforce the slanted rhythm. Proportions feel traditionally bookish: capitals are steady and not overly wide, while lowercase forms keep open apertures and clear counters; the italic ‘a’ and ‘g’ are single-storey and the ‘f’ has a long, expressive profile. Numerals align with the same italic energy, mixing firm verticals with curved bowls and crisp entry/exit strokes.
Well-suited for book and magazine typography where an authentic italic voice is needed for emphasis, citations, or quoted material. It also fits refined editorial headlines and pull quotes, as well as branding or stationery that benefits from a traditional, cultivated serif italic.
The font conveys a classic, literary tone—polished and cultured rather than loud. Its italic movement reads as elegant and articulate, suitable for emphasis with a distinctly traditional flavor.
The design appears intended as a conventional text italic that prioritizes readability and typographic tradition, delivering a confident, oldstyle-inspired texture with expressive cursive motion for editorial and literary contexts.
Spacing and rhythm appear even in paragraph text, with a consistent rightward slant and cohesive serif logic across caps, lowercase, and figures. The letterforms balance crispness with gentle curvature, giving the texture a smooth, continuous flow in longer settings.
