A slanted serif with moderate stroke contrast and softly bracketed serifs that read as traditional rather than sharp or geometric. The letters show a calligraphic rhythm: diagonals and curves carry subtle modulation, terminals are tapered, and joins are smooth, giving the texture an oldstyle feel. Proportions are relatively generous with open counters and a steady, bookish color in text; capitals are stately and slightly narrow, while the lowercase shows lively italic forms with distinct entry/exit strokes. Numerals follow the same angled, serifed construction and feel integrated with the text face.
Well-suited to editorial and book typography where a traditional italic is needed for emphasis, quotations, and running text. It can also serve effectively in refined display settings such as invitations, programs, and classic brand or packaging copy that benefits from an established serif voice.
The overall tone is classic and literary, conveying formality without stiffness. Its italic energy adds elegance and a sense of crafted writing, making the voice feel refined and traditional.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable text serif with a distinctly calligraphic italic character, balancing traditional proportions with enough modulation and serif shaping to feel elegant in continuous reading.
The sample text shows a consistent slant and even spacing that maintains readability at display-to-text sizes, with the italic forms providing clear word-shape differentiation. Curved letters and round forms remain relatively open, supporting a smooth reading flow despite the pronounced italic character.
