This is a slanted serif with bracketed serifs and a clearly modulated stroke that reads as moderate contrast. Letterforms show a traditional, bookish construction with slightly tapered stems, crisp terminals, and a steady italic rhythm. Capitals are upright in feel but carry the same forward slant, with wide, open counters (notably in C, G, O, Q) and pronounced curved joins. The lowercase has a compact, readable texture, a two-storey a, a single-storey g, and an angled, energetic italic stance across the alphabet; figures align with the same slanted structure and have sturdy, readable shapes.
Well-suited for editorial typography where an italic companion is needed for emphasis in long-form reading, such as books, essays, and magazines. It also fits pull quotes, subheads, captions, and refined brand language where a traditional serif italic can add hierarchy and sophistication without sacrificing legibility.
The overall tone is classic and literary, suggesting editorial seriousness rather than playful display. Its slant and calligraphic modulation add a sense of motion and elegance, while the conventional serif detailing keeps it grounded and formal. The result feels appropriate for traditional publishing and restrained branding where a cultivated voice is needed.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that balances calligraphic character with disciplined proportions. It aims to provide clear emphasis and a polished, traditional voice, maintaining readability while delivering a distinctly italic, literary texture.
Spacing appears even in running text, producing a consistent gray value with a slightly lively cadence typical of italics. The italic emphasis is assertive without becoming overly decorative, and the forms remain clear at text sizes thanks to open apertures and stable counters.
