This is a slanted serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and gently modulated strokes. The letterforms show a calligraphic influence: curved entries and exits, slightly tapered terminals, and an overall diagonal stress that keeps the texture lively without becoming spiky. Capitals are compact and dignified, while the lowercase maintains comfortable proportions with open apertures and rounded bowls, producing an even, readable rhythm in text. Numerals appear as oldstyle figures, with varying heights and some descenders, reinforcing a traditional, bookish color.
It suits long-form reading such as books and editorial layouts, where a traditional serif texture and comfortable italic emphasis are desired. It can also work well for pull quotes, headings in print-oriented designs, and formal materials that benefit from a refined, classical voice.
The font conveys a classic, literary tone with a calm sense of authority. Its italic slope and softly shaped serifs add warmth and motion, giving text an editorial elegance suited to more formal or cultured contexts.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that prioritizes readability and typographic tradition. Its oldstyle-leaning details and steady rhythm suggest a focus on comfortable paragraph setting and tasteful emphasis rather than overt stylistic novelty.
Stroke joins and serifs stay consistent across the set, creating a cohesive page color at paragraph sizes. The slant is steady and moderate, supporting emphasis in running text rather than a highly expressive, display-italic feel.
