A slanted serif with crisp, bracketed wedge-like serifs and a moderately calligraphic construction. Strokes show a clear diagonal stress and medium contrast, with tapered joins and sharpened terminals that keep the texture lively without becoming spiky. Proportions are fairly traditional, with open counters and a steady rhythm in text; the lowercase shows a gently organic flow, while capitals remain sturdy and slightly condensed in feel. Numerals appear oldstyle, sitting with ascenders and descenders that blend naturally into running text.
Well-suited to book typography, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine features where an italic serif can provide emphasis while staying highly readable. It also fits literary titling, pull quotes, and formal invitations that benefit from a traditional, cultivated feel.
The overall tone is classical and literary, projecting a polished, educated voice with a hint of old-world warmth. Its italic slant and calligraphic stress add movement and elegance, giving paragraphs a refined, editorial character.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with a classical, calligraphy-informed structure, balancing elegance with steady paragraph color. Its oldstyle-like figures and tapered detailing suggest an emphasis on comfortable reading and tasteful emphasis in editorial settings.
The face maintains consistent stroke behavior across uppercase and lowercase, with a noticeable emphasis on tapered entry/exit strokes and sharp finishing points that enhance definition at display sizes. The italic is expressive but restrained, aiming for readability rather than flourish.
