This is a slanted serif with bracketed, tapered serifs and a gently calligraphic construction. Strokes show moderate thick–thin modulation and a smooth, pen-like rhythm, with rounded joins and soft terminals rather than sharp cuts. Proportions feel generous and open, with wide set capitals, ample sidebearings, and clear, readable counters. The lowercase shows traditional text-serif behavior with a two-storey a and g, a single-storey, looping italic-like f, and a noticeable rightward flow across words.
It suits long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a traditional, refined texture is desired. The lively slant also makes it effective for pull quotes, captions, and literary or cultural titles where a sense of movement and sophistication is helpful.
The overall tone is classical and literary, suggesting printed book typography and editorial tradition. Its slant and soft modulation add warmth and motion, keeping the voice formal yet approachable rather than rigid or mechanical.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with an italicized, calligraphic flavor, aiming for comfortable readability while adding elegance through modulation and flowing serif forms.
Figures are oldstyle-leaning in feel, with curved forms and modest contrast that harmonize with the text. The italic angle is consistent across caps and lowercase, and the ampersand and punctuation match the same flowing, bracketed serif vocabulary.
