This is a slanted serif text face with moderate stroke contrast and a steady, bookish rhythm. Serifs are bracketed and relatively small, with tapered terminals that keep the outlines lively rather than mechanical. The italic construction shows clear cursive influence—especially in the lowercase—with single-storey forms and fluid joins, while capitals remain structured and slightly narrower in feel. Overall proportions are balanced with a normal x-height and open internal spaces, supporting continuous reading without looking overly modern or geometric.
Well suited for extended reading in books and editorial layouts where an italic serif is needed for emphasis, pull quotes, or secondary text. It also works effectively in literary titling, invitations, and other formal contexts where a classic italic texture is desired.
The tone is traditional and literary, conveying a sense of refinement and editorial seriousness. Its italic voice feels expressive yet controlled, giving emphasis a polished, humanist character rather than a dramatic or decorative one.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable italic serif for continuous text, prioritizing a smooth typographic color and familiar letterforms while adding subtle calligraphic energy for emphasis and elegance.
Several glyphs show distinctive italic details such as a calligraphic slant, angled stress, and gently curved entry/exit strokes that create a cohesive left-to-right motion. Numerals follow the same italic rhythm, with curved shapes and modest contrast that harmonize with text settings.
