An italic serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a steady, moderately contrasting stroke. The letterforms lean consistently with calligraphic modulation, showing tapered terminals and subtly swelling curves. Counters are open and comfortably proportioned, with a moderate x-height and long, flowing ascenders/descenders that add elegance without becoming overly ornate. The overall rhythm is even and text-forward, with slightly varied character widths and clear word shapes in continuous setting.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and magazines, especially where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, captions, or introductory matter. It also fits formal communications and branded editorial materials that benefit from a classic, serif-italic texture.
The tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking book typography and editorial refinement. Its slanted, gently calligraphic details convey a sense of motion and sophistication while remaining restrained and readable.
The design appears intended as a conventional, text-oriented italic serif that prioritizes comfortable readability while adding a refined, traditional character. Its measured contrast and bracketed serifs suggest an aim for dependable performance in continuous text with a polished, literary presence.
Uppercase forms feel stately and balanced, with clean joins and restrained serifs; the italic construction is evident across both cases rather than relying on simple oblique slanting. Numerals follow the same serifed, modulated treatment and sit harmoniously with text, supporting mixed editorial and scholarly composition.
