A slanted text serif with bracketed serifs and a gently calligraphic construction. Strokes show moderated thick–thin modeling with smooth curves and tapered terminals, creating a fluid rhythm through words. Proportions are traditional and slightly compact, with open counters and a consistent, bookish color; capitals feel stately and balanced while lowercase forms maintain clear, readable silhouettes. Numerals follow the same italicized, oldstyle-inflected logic, blending naturally with running text.
Well-suited to continuous reading in books, essays, and magazine layouts where an elegant italic voice is needed. It also works effectively for refined front matter, pull quotes, captions, and tasteful formal materials such as invitations or programs, especially where a traditional serif tone is desired.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with an editorial polish that feels established rather than decorative. Its italic angle and pen-like modulation add a sense of movement and elegance, making text feel expressive without becoming flamboyant.
Likely designed as a conventional text serif italic that prioritizes comfortable reading and a cohesive page texture while providing a graceful, slightly calligraphic character. The intent appears to be a dependable italic companion for editorial typography, offering warmth and refinement without sacrificing clarity.
Curved entries and exits are emphasized across many letters, and the serif treatment stays restrained and well-integrated rather than sharp or chunky. The italic forms read as text-first, with smooth joins and a steady baseline flow that supports long passages.
