A slanted serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and moderately modulated strokes that show an angled, calligraphic stress. The capitals are restrained and elegant, with compact proportions and clean terminals, while the lowercase carries a lively rhythm through tapered joins and gently curved entry strokes. Counters are generally open and round, and the overall spacing feels traditional, supporting continuous text. The numerals appear oldstyle with varying heights and extenders, matching the texty, bookish cadence of the letters.
It suits long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a traditional serif voice is desired. The lively italic texture also makes it a strong choice for emphasis, pull quotes, and refined titling in magazines or literary contexts.
The font conveys a classic, literary tone—polished and conservative rather than attention-seeking. Its italic stance and subtle calligraphic shaping add a sense of motion and refinement that reads as editorial and formal.
The design appears intended as a conventional, highly readable text serif with an italic flavor that leans on calligraphic tradition. Its goal seems to be dependable paragraph performance while maintaining a cultured, classic presence.
