This typeface is an italic serif with bracketed, slab-like serifs and a steady, moderately contrasted stroke. The letterforms show a consistent rightward slant and a gently calligraphic construction, with tapered terminals and smooth entry/exit strokes that keep rhythm fluid across words. Proportions feel classic and text-oriented: capitals are slightly narrow and poised, while lowercase forms are compact with open counters and clear joins. Numerals follow the same italic rhythm, with curved bowls and elegant, slightly swashed terminals that remain readable in running text.
It suits book and magazine typography, especially for long-form passages where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or introductions. The combination of slab-like serifs and smooth italic movement also works well for refined headings, pull quotes, and packaging or labeling that aims for a classic, literary feel.
Overall, the font conveys a literary, editorial tone—polished and traditional rather than loud or experimental. The italic angle and soft stroke modulation add a sense of motion and sophistication, suggesting thoughtful, authored content and a quietly formal voice.
The design appears intended as a dependable, text-first serif italic that balances sturdier serifs with a graceful, calligraphic flow. It aims to provide a legible, composed reading experience while offering enough italic character to stand out in emphasis and editorial settings.
The sample text shows even spacing and a calm color on the page, with italics that feel designed as a true italic rather than a simple slant. Several letters exhibit gentle, pen-like hooks and terminals (notably in the lowercase), adding personality without disrupting consistency.
