This typeface is a slanted serif with bracketed, softly tapered serifs and a gently calligraphic construction. Strokes show moderate contrast with smooth transitions, giving bowls and stems a rounded, ink-drawn feel rather than a rigid, mechanical one. Proportions are classical and text-oriented: capitals are steady and slightly condensed in appearance, while the lowercase shows lively curves, modest ascenders/descenders, and comfortable spacing. Numerals follow the same oldstyle-influenced rhythm, with subtle variation in widths and rounded terminals that keep the texture even in running text.
It suits extended reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a classic serif texture is desired, and it can also work well for pull quotes, headers, and refined branding that benefits from a traditional italic voice. The numerals and punctuation appear comfortable for general publishing and print-oriented typography.
The overall tone is bookish and traditional, suggesting editorial seriousness with a human touch. Its italic slant and soft serif modeling add a cultured, slightly expressive flavor that feels suited to literary and historical contexts rather than stark modern minimalism.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with an italicized, humanist sensibility—aiming for readability and a graceful, literary tone while keeping forms familiar and typographically orthodox.
In the samples, the face maintains a consistent, readable color across mixed-case text, with clear differentiation between similar shapes (notably in the capitals) and an even, flowing rhythm across words. The slant is steady and moderate, supporting emphasis without becoming overly cursive.
