This typeface is a slanted serif with bracketed serifs and a gently calligraphic construction. Strokes show moderate thick–thin modulation, with tapered terminals and smooth joins that keep the rhythm fluid rather than rigid. Proportions are fairly traditional, with open counters and slightly varied character widths that create a natural, text-oriented color. The italic forms are clearly drawn (not merely obliqued), with flowing entry/exit strokes in lowercase and a poised, classical feel in the capitals.
It suits extended reading in print or high-resolution digital contexts, particularly for editorial typography, books, and long-form articles. It also works well for literary or academic titling where an italic voice is desirable, and for formal materials that benefit from a traditional serif presence.
The overall tone is bookish and cultivated, suggesting editorial seriousness with a touch of elegance. Its motion and modulation give it a human, literary warmth, suitable for settings that want tradition without feeling stiff.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable text serif with a distinctly italic, calligraphic voice—balancing moderate contrast and traditional detailing to deliver a refined, literary texture in continuous text.
Capitals appear restrained and classical, while the lowercase italic introduces more personality through curved terminals and angled stress. Numerals follow the same serifed, slanted logic, helping mixed text and figures feel cohesive.
