This typeface is a high-contrast serif italic with bracketed wedge-like serifs and a pronounced rightward slant. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation and diagonal stress, with tapered entry/exit terminals that feel calligraphically informed rather than mechanical. Proportions are moderately condensed with generous sidebearings, producing an airy texture; capitals are stately and slightly narrow, while the lowercase has open counters and a smooth, continuous flow. Numerals follow the same italic rhythm and contrast, reading like old-style figures in spirit with varied widths and classic proportions.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial design where a refined italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or introductory matter. It also fits magazine features, cultural institutions, and brand systems that want a classic, traditional serif tone with a touch of movement.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, with a bookish elegance that reads as authoritative and polished. Its lively italic motion adds warmth and emphasis without becoming decorative, evoking established editorial and literary settings.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that prioritizes readability and typographic tradition, pairing strong contrast and calligraphic shaping to deliver clear emphasis and a timeless page color.
Details such as the single-storey italic “a,” looped “g,” and the sweeping tails on letters like “y” reinforce a handwriting-derived structure. The capital forms remain controlled and sober, balancing the expressive lowercase so the face stays suitable for sustained reading.
