This is an italic serif with a clearly calligraphic construction and a steady rightward slant. Strokes show moderate contrast with tapered joins and softly bracketed serifs that end in sharp, wedge-like terminals. The letterforms have lively, slightly varied widths and a flowing rhythm, with open counters and rounded bowls that keep the texture readable. Capitals feel restrained and traditional, while the lowercase shows more movement through curved entry strokes, angled cross-strokes, and gently swelling stems.
It works well for editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and essays where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or highlighted passages. The lively modulation and sharp terminals also make it a strong option for subheads, pull quotes, and other text-forward display settings where a classic tone is desired.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a warm, cultivated voice rather than a stark or highly modern one. Its italic energy reads as expressive and editorial, suited to emphasis and refined display rather than strict utilitarian neutrality.
The design appears intended to provide a traditional, readable italic companion with a humanist, oldstyle sensibility—balancing moderate contrast and crisp serif detailing with a smooth, continuous writing rhythm.
Numerals follow the same italic, oldstyle-influenced logic, with curved forms and angled stress that blend smoothly into text. The spacing and stroke endings create a crisp, slightly sharp sparkle at larger sizes, while maintaining an even, bookish color in paragraphs.
