A slanted serif with bracketed, slightly wedge-like terminals and a calm, bookish rhythm. Strokes show moderate contrast with gently tapered joins and softly modeled curves, giving letters an oldstyle flavor rather than a sharp modern feel. Proportions are generous with open counters and relatively broad capitals, while the italic construction introduces lively diagonals in forms like A, K, V, W, and y. Numerals follow the same angled, serifed logic, with clear shapes and steady weight distribution across the set.
Well-suited to book and long-form editorial typography, especially for passages where an italic voice is needed throughout or prominently. It can also work for magazine features, essays, pull quotes, and refined branding where a classic serif presence is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and cultured, suggesting established publishing and academic contexts. Its italic stance adds a sense of motion and rhetoric—more expressive than a plain text face—while remaining controlled and formal.
The design appears intended as a conventional reading serif rendered with an italic, oldstyle-informed voice: moderately contrasted, open, and comfortable, with enough calligraphic character to add warmth while staying appropriate for serious text setting.
Serifs stay consistent in size and bracketing, helping maintain continuity across upper- and lowercase. The sample text shows smooth word shapes and a cohesive slanted texture that supports sustained reading without feeling ornamental.
