A modulated serif italic with bracketed serifs and gently tapered terminals. The design shows clear calligraphic influence: diagonals and curves carry subtle thick–thin changes, and many lowercase forms exhibit lively, sweeping entry and exit strokes. Capitals are relatively upright and stately with crisp serifs, while the lowercase has a more flowing, written rhythm; ascenders are tall and the overall color remains even at text sizes. Numerals follow the same italic slant and modulation, pairing crisp top serifs with rounded bowls and open counters.
Well-suited to longform reading in books and editorial layouts, where its steady texture and classic italic construction support comfortable flow. It also fits formal communications and elegant titling when a traditional serif italic tone is desired.
The overall tone is bookish and traditional, with a refined, editorial feel. Its slanted, slightly expressive lowercase adds warmth and motion without becoming decorative, keeping the voice formal and composed.
Likely drawn to provide a conventional, text-friendly serif italic with a distinctly calligraphic cadence—expressive enough for emphasis and literary voice, but disciplined enough to hold up in paragraphs.
The italic angle is consistent across cases, and the texture in paragraphs stays smooth due to open counters and restrained contrast. Terminals lean toward sharp, slightly hooked finishes, contributing to a crisp, articulate rhythm in continuous reading.
