A slanted serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and gently swelling strokes that create an oldstyle, calligraphic feel. Letterforms show moderate stroke modulation and a lively, slightly irregular rhythm typical of italic construction, with angled terminals and cursive influence in the lowercase. Proportions read compact in the lowercase, with a noticeably short x-height and tall ascenders/descenders, while capitals are broad and rounded with strong serif presence. Numerals follow the same fluid, slightly varied stroke behavior, contributing to an organic, page-text texture.
Well-suited to long-form editorial typography where an expressive italic texture is desired, such as books, essays, and magazine features. It also works effectively for refined invitations, cultural branding, and headlines that benefit from a traditional serif voice with added motion.
The font conveys a classic, literary tone with a refined, slightly antiquarian voice. Its italic energy adds warmth and motion, suggesting tradition, craft, and a humanist sensibility rather than a rigidly mechanical finish.
Likely designed to provide a conventional serif reading experience infused with italic liveliness—combining sturdy, familiar structures with calligraphic details for a more personable, classical texture.
The slant and variable character widths create a dynamic line color, especially in mixed-case settings. Rounded bowls and softly tapered joins keep the texture smooth, while the pronounced serifs and tall extenders lend an elegant, editorial presence at display and text sizes.
