This typeface is a slanted serif with calligraphic modulation and gently tapered strokes. Serifs are bracketed and softly shaped, with a traditional oldstyle feel rather than sharp, high-contrast hairlines. Curves are round and open, terminals tend to be subtly hooked or sheared, and spacing feels comfortable for continuous reading. Numerals follow the same angled, humanist rhythm, with smooth bowls and modest stroke contrast that keeps forms clear at text sizes.
It suits book interiors, editorial layouts, and magazine typography where a traditional italic is needed for emphasis, quotations, or secondary text. It can also work well in refined printed materials such as programs, invitations, and packaging that benefits from a classic serif voice.
The overall tone is classic and literary, evoking traditional book typography and cultured editorial design. Its italic slant adds a sense of movement and elegance, giving passages a poised, slightly expressive voice without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended as a conventional, text-oriented italic that prioritizes readability while preserving a historically informed, calligraphic character. Its moderate modulation and bracketed serifs aim for an elegant but dependable appearance across paragraphs and headings.
The rhythm is consistent across capitals and lowercase, with diagonally stressed forms and a cohesive serif treatment that supports long lines of text. In the sample paragraph, the face maintains clarity while still showing nuanced stroke shaping in letters like a, e, f, and g and in the angled numerals.
