A slanted serif text face with a gently calligraphic construction and bracketed serifs throughout. Strokes are smooth and moderately modulated, with tapered terminals and a slightly diagonal stress that shows clearly in rounded forms. Proportions are text-oriented: compact uppercase with crisp serifs, a moderately sized x-height, and lowercase forms that remain open and legible. The italic rhythm is consistent and flowing, with softly curved joins and a controlled, even texture across words and lines.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, captions, and sidebars. It also works effectively for literary titling and refined branding moments that benefit from a classic serif italic without becoming overly decorative.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, suggesting editorial refinement rather than display flamboyance. Its italic slant and subtle pen-like details add a sense of motion and elegance while staying restrained and readable.
Likely designed as a conventional text serif italic with a controlled calligraphic influence, prioritizing smooth reading texture, reliable emphasis, and a traditional typographic tone.
Figures and capitals share the same understated modulation and serif treatment, helping mixed text feel cohesive. Spacing appears comfortable for continuous reading, producing a smooth, slightly airy color rather than a dense, high-contrast sparkle.
