A slanted serif with an oldstyle, calligraphic construction and gently bracketed serifs. Strokes are smooth and flowing with modest modulation, and terminals often finish in soft, rounded flicks rather than abrupt cuts. Proportions feel traditionally bookish: moderate ascenders, a balanced x-height, and open interior counters that keep the texture even in running text. The capitals are poised and slightly narrow, while the lowercase shows more movement and individuality, giving the overall rhythm a lively but controlled cadence.
Well suited to book typography, long-form editorial work, and literary or academic contexts where a traditional serif voice is desired. It can also serve effectively for refined invitations, program notes, or brand collateral that benefits from a classic italic tone, especially at text and subhead sizes.
The font conveys a classic, literary tone—polished and restrained, with an understated elegance. Its italic energy reads as editorial and cultured rather than decorative, lending a sense of tradition and credibility without feeling stiff.
Likely designed as a conventional text serif italic that prioritizes comfortable reading texture and a time-tested, bookish character. The restrained detailing and balanced proportions suggest an aim for versatility in continuous reading while preserving an elegant, calligraphic presence.
Numerals follow the same slanted, serifed logic as the letters, with clear differentiation and gentle curves; the “2” and “3” show prominent top strokes, while rounded forms like “0” and “8” are smooth and even. In the sample text, word shapes remain stable and readable, and the italic angle provides forward motion while maintaining a consistent color on the page.
