This is an italic serif with gently bracketed, tapered serifs and a clear calligraphic slant. Strokes show a smooth, moderate thick–thin modulation, with rounded joins and softly sheared terminals that keep the rhythm fluid rather than crisp. Proportions are fairly classical: capitals are broad and dignified, lowercase forms are compact with a normal x-height, and the overall spacing reads even in continuous text. Numerals follow the same italic, serifed construction, with open counters and a slightly flowing, oldstyle feel.
Well-suited for book and long-form editorial typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, citations, or extended passages. It also fits formal communications—programs, announcements, and invitations—where a classic serif italic can convey refinement without sacrificing clarity.
The tone is traditional and literary, suggesting book typography and cultivated editorial settings. Its slanted movement adds a sense of elegance and motion without becoming decorative, balancing formality with readability.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable serif italic with a classical, humanist-leaning structure, providing a dependable typographic companion for narrative and editorial use while retaining a graceful, calligraphic cadence.
Details like the curved, descending tail on the capital Q, the gently sweeping leg of R, and the lively italic entry/exit strokes on letters such as a, f, and y reinforce a pen-informed construction. The forms avoid sharp, high-contrast drama, instead aiming for a steady, text-friendly color on the page.
