A slanted serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and moderately tapered strokes that give letters a subtly calligraphic rhythm. Forms lean with a steady italic angle, combining crisp terminals with rounded joins and smooth curves. Uppercase proportions feel traditional and slightly narrow in stance, while lowercase shows clear italic construction with single-storey shapes where expected and gently sweeping entry/exit strokes. Numerals are also italicized and streamlined, with consistent stroke modulation and compact counters that hold up well at display sizes.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book and magazine use, and any setting that benefits from an elegant italic voice—such as quotations, introductions, captions, and emphasis. It also performs nicely for short headlines, pull quotes, programs, and formal printed materials where a traditional serif italic is desired.
The overall tone is classic and literary, suggesting bookish sophistication and a reserved, formal voice. Its italic slant and tapered detailing add a sense of movement and elegance without becoming ornate, making it feel appropriate for traditional, cultured contexts.
The design intent appears to be a conventional text serif italic with a refined, slightly calligraphic finish—aimed at providing a legible, tasteful slanted companion for classic typography and formal communication.
Spacing appears even and controlled, producing a tidy texture in running lines. The italics are expressive but disciplined: curves remain smooth and open, and the serif treatment stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, creating a cohesive typographic color.
