This is a slanted serif with a smooth, calligraphic construction and moderate stroke modulation. Serifs are bracketed and gently tapered, with a consistent diagonal stress across rounded forms. Proportions feel traditional rather than geometric: counters are open, joins are clean, and curves transition with a slightly drawn, pen-influenced softness. The italic angle is noticeable but controlled, and the overall rhythm reads steady and bookish, with comfortable spacing and a cohesive texture in paragraph settings.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, journals, and editorial layouts where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, citations, or narrative tone. It also works effectively for pull quotes, introductions, and refined branding copy that benefits from a classic serif italic texture.
The font conveys a classic, literary tone—polished and slightly ceremonial without becoming ornate. Its italic forms feel expressive and editorial, suggesting tradition, credibility, and a cultured voice suited to serious reading contexts.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that prioritizes readability and a familiar literary texture, adding gentle calligraphic character while staying within a traditional typographic framework.
Uppercase letters show restrained elegance with clear, conventional structures, while the lowercase has a lively italic flow (notably in the single-storey forms and the looping descenders). Numerals are slanted to match the text, with clear differentiation and a traditional, print-oriented feel.
