A slanted serif with bracketed, slightly wedge-like serifs and a gently calligraphic stroke flow. The contrast is moderate, with clear thick–thin modulation and a subtle diagonal stress visible in rounded forms. Capitals are compact and steady, while the lowercase shows more movement through angled entry strokes and soft, tapered terminals; counters are moderately open and the overall rhythm is smooth rather than sharp. Numerals appear oldstyle in proportion, with varied heights and a flowing italic construction that matches the text color of the letters.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books and editorial layouts where an italic voice is needed for emphasis or a continuous italic setting. It can also serve in refined branding, program notes, and formal invitations where a traditional serif tone and smooth, moderately contrasted texture are desirable.
The face conveys a classic, bookish tone with an editorial polish. Its italic slant and calligraphic details add a sense of tradition and ceremony, making it feel composed and slightly expressive without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif in an italic style, aiming for clarity and a calm reading rhythm while retaining classical, calligraphy-informed structure. Its moderate contrast and traditional serif shaping suggest a focus on dependable typography for editorial and literary use.
The italic design maintains consistent spacing and color across longer lines, and the letterforms show restrained detailing—enough taper and serif shaping to feel crafted, but not so much that it becomes decorative. The overall impression is coherent across caps, lowercase, and figures, with a steady, readable texture in paragraph settings.
