This typeface is a slanted serif with a steady, moderately modulated stroke and clearly bracketed serifs. Letterforms show a calligraphic construction with tapered joins, soft terminals, and a consistent rightward rhythm that keeps texture smooth in paragraphs. Proportions are on the open side with generous spacing and relatively broad caps, while lowercase forms remain readable and even, supported by a clear two-storey “a” and compact, rounded counters.
It suits editorial layouts, book and magazine typography, and long-form reading where a refined, traditional voice is desired. The slanted rhythm also works well for pull quotes, introductions, and formal collateral such as invitations or announcements, especially when paired with a more neutral companion for contrast.
Overall it conveys a classic, literary tone with a polished, slightly ceremonial feel. The slant and gentle modulation add warmth and motion, suggesting tradition and craft rather than strict modern minimalism.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with an italic posture that remains calm and highly legible, prioritizing consistent paragraph texture and a classic printed-book character.
The numerals align with the text style, mixing sturdy stems with curved, slightly expressive terminals for a cohesive page color. Uppercase forms read dignified and stable, while lowercase details (ears, hooks, and entry strokes) add subtle liveliness without becoming decorative.
