A slanted serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and a calligraphic stress that shows through in the curved strokes. Capitals are moderately wide with clean, open interiors and pronounced hairline-like entry/exit strokes on forms such as C, G, and S. The lowercase has a smooth, flowing rhythm, with tapered terminals, a single-storey g, and an energetic, right-leaning italic construction that keeps counters open and joins light. Figures are oldstyle-leaning in feel, with varying heights and curved forms that blend naturally with the text color.
Well-suited to long-form reading environments such as books, essays, and magazine text where an elegant italic voice is desirable. It can also serve effectively for pull quotes, introductions, and refined headings, particularly when a classic serif tone with noticeable slant is needed.
The overall tone is cultured and bookish, with a poised elegance that reads as traditional rather than decorative. Its strong italic slant and crisp detailing add a sense of motion and sophistication, lending a lightly formal, editorial voice to paragraphs and titles alike.
Likely intended as a conventional text serif italic that emphasizes readability and a graceful, literary cadence. The combination of crisp serifs, open counters, and steady modulation suggests a design aimed at comfortable paragraph texture while providing a distinctly elegant, traditional character.
The design maintains consistent stroke modulation across letters, avoiding heavy density while preserving clear letter identity. Descenders are expressive (notably in g, j, y) and contribute to a lively baseline rhythm, while the capitals retain a restrained, classical presence suited to mixed-case composition.
