A slanted serif with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and open, gently rounded counters. The italics show a clear calligraphic influence with tapered terminals and softly swelling curves, while maintaining disciplined proportions and steady spacing. Capitals are broad and dignified with crisp, understated serifs; lowercase forms are more fluid, with a single-storey “a,” a looped “g,” and an italic “f” with a pronounced cross-stroke. Numerals follow the same angled, text-oriented construction with curved joins and a balanced, bookish rhythm.
Well suited to book and magazine typography, especially for editorial layouts that benefit from a classic italic voice. It can serve effectively for pull quotes, introductions, captions, and refined display lines where a traditional serif tone is desired. The consistent rhythm and open counters also make it a strong choice for formal print materials such as programs and invitations.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking book typography and editorial design. Its italic posture feels expressive without becoming ornamental, lending a sense of authority, elegance, and narrative warmth. The shapes suggest a quiet formality suited to polished, long-form reading contexts.
The design appears intended as a conventional, text-first serif italic that balances readability with a measured amount of calligraphic character. It aims to provide a dependable literary texture while offering enough warmth and motion to distinguish emphasis and set an elegant tone in running text and headings.
Round letters like C, O, and Q read smooth and spacious, while diagonals in V, W, X, and Y are crisp and energetic, reinforcing the font’s forward motion. Descenders are moderately long and add texture in continuous text, and the italic capitals remain stable enough to anchor headings without feeling overly flamboyant.
