This is a slanted serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and a gently calligraphic construction. Strokes show moderate contrast and a consistent diagonal stress, with tapered terminals and slightly flared entry/exit strokes that keep the texture lively rather than mechanical. The capitals are relatively narrow and elegantly proportioned, while the lowercase features open counters and a smooth, rhythmic modulation through bowls and joins. Curves are clean and controlled, and the numerals follow the same italicized, text-oriented logic with traditional proportions.
It is well suited to continuous reading in books and magazines, especially for passages where an italic voice is desired. It can also serve refined editorial typography—introductions, pull quotes, captions, and front matter—and works well for formal stationery or invitations where a classic serif italic adds sophistication.
The font conveys a bookish, cultivated tone—polished and traditional with a subtle handwritten warmth. Its slant and tapered finishing strokes add motion and elegance, giving it an editorial voice that feels articulate and composed rather than overtly decorative.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with a calm, classical foundation and a touch of calligraphic movement. It prioritizes readable rhythm and elegant emphasis, providing a familiar literary character while keeping the forms lively through tapered serifs and moderate contrast.
In text, the italic angle is prominent and consistent, producing a flowing line while maintaining clear word shapes. Ascenders are noticeable and the overall spacing reads slightly airy, which helps preserve clarity in longer passages despite the pronounced slant.
