This is a slanted serif with an oldstyle, calligraphic construction and gently bracketed serifs. Strokes are smooth and taper subtly, with diagonal stress visible in rounded forms and a generally open, airy interior space. The capitals are restrained and slightly narrow with elegant curves, while the lowercase shows lively modulation through angled terminals, a single-storey “g,” and a modestly extended italic “f.” Figures are lining and slanted, with classical shapes and clear differentiation (notably the open-bowled “6” and “9”).
It suits long-form reading in books and essays, as well as editorial layouts where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, pull quotes, captions, and leads. It can also work for formal printed materials—such as programs or invitations—where a classic, understated elegance is desired.
The tone is traditional and literary, leaning toward refined and cultured rather than loud or decorative. Its slant and soft serifing add a sense of motion and tactility, giving text an editorial, bookish warmth.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that prioritizes comfortable reading and a traditional typographic color, while adding a subtle calligraphic liveliness for emphasis and tone.
Rhythm is even and readable, with moderate spacing and consistent join behavior that keeps words cohesive in running text. Curves are generous and terminals are slightly pointed, lending a crisp finish without feeling sharp or mechanical.
