This is a modulated serif italic with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a pronounced rightward slant. Strokes show clear thick–thin contrast with gently tapered terminals, giving letters a slightly calligraphic flow rather than rigid geometry. Proportions feel traditionally bookish: capitals are broad with ample counters, while lowercase forms are compact and rhythmically connected through consistent diagonal stress. Figures follow the italic character as well, with curving shapes and angled entry/exit strokes that keep the numerals visually aligned with the text.
It works well for book and long-form editorial settings where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, citations, or quoted material. The traditional serif construction also suits magazine typography and formal collateral such as invitations or announcements, especially where a classic, print-like texture is desired.
The overall tone is classic and literary, evoking editorial typography and traditional print. Its italic energy reads as expressive and slightly formal, suitable for emphasis that feels elegant rather than loud.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that prioritizes readable rhythm and a familiar, time-tested page color. Its restrained contrast and bracketed serifs suggest an aim for versatility in continuous text while retaining an elegant, calligraphic italic presence.
Spacing appears comfortable and even in running text, with smooth joins between serifs and stems that soften the silhouette. Several letters show gently extended terminals and subtle swash tendencies, lending a refined, humanist feel without becoming ornamental.
