This is a slanted serif with moderate stroke modulation and firmly bracketed serifs. Uppercase forms feel restrained and classical, with rounded bowls and steady vertical stress, while the italic construction shows calligraphic movement in the lowercase through tapered terminals and gently curved entry strokes. Proportions are fairly traditional with a balanced x-height and slightly varied character widths that create a lively rhythm in text. Figures are italic as well, with open shapes and clear differentiation that keeps them legible alongside the letters.
It suits editorial typography, book interiors, and magazine layouts where an italic with strong serif structure is needed for emphasis or continuous setting. It can also perform well in refined branding, pull quotes, and formal invitations where a classic, cultivated texture is desirable.
The overall tone is bookish and cultivated, evoking traditional publishing and academic settings. Its italic voice reads expressive but controlled, offering a sense of elegance and continuity rather than flamboyance.
The design appears intended as a conventional, highly readable serif with an italic that adds warmth and movement while preserving traditional typographic discipline. It prioritizes familiar proportions, clear word shapes, and a composed text rhythm suitable for long-form reading.
The italic has noticeable forward energy and smooth joins, giving word shapes a cohesive flow. Serifs and terminals stay crisp at display sizes, and the capitals maintain a dignified presence without becoming overly ornamental.
