This is a slanted serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a calligraphic stroke logic. Curves show a subtle diagonal stress, with thicker verticals and finer connecting strokes that stay controlled rather than hairline. Uppercase forms are compact and slightly narrow with crisp terminals, while lowercase is more fluid, showing gently cupped serifs and rounded joins that keep texture even in paragraphs. Numerals follow the same oldstyle flavor, with varied widths and soft curvature that blends naturally into text.
It performs best in long-form reading and editorial settings where an italic is used for emphasis, citations, or section-level hierarchy. The sturdy serif structure and even text color make it appropriate for books, magazines, and essay-driven layouts, and it can also serve as a refined companion italic in brand and packaging copy.
The overall tone is bookish and traditional, evoking printed literature and established editorial typography. Its italic energy feels expressive without becoming decorative, giving text a cultivated, slightly formal voice suited to narrative and commentary.
The design appears intended as a conventional text italic that preserves traditional serif proportions and readability while adding a modest calligraphic liveliness. It prioritizes coherent paragraph texture and familiar forms, aiming for trustworthy tone and comfortable reading across extended passages.
The italics maintain clear counters and steady spacing, producing a consistent rhythm in running text. Stroke endings are generally clean and slightly tapered, and the slant reads uniform across capitals, lowercase, and figures for cohesive emphasis.
