A slanted serif with crisp, bracketed wedge serifs and a smoothly modulated stroke that suggests a calligraphic hand. The capitals are compact and elegant with gently tapered terminals, while the lowercase shows flowing joins, an angled crossbar on the e, and a single-storey g with a pronounced ear. Curves carry an oblique stress and the overall rhythm is lively yet controlled, with rounded forms kept open and counters clean for continuous reading.
This style works well for editorial typography such as magazine features, essays, and book interiors where an italic voice is needed for emphasis or continuous setting. It also suits refined short-form uses like quotations, pull quotes, programs, and formal stationery where a classic serif italic can carry tone without overpowering the layout.
The tone is traditional and bookish, with an understated elegance that reads as educated and editorial rather than decorative. Its italic stance adds motion and emphasis, giving the page a cultured, slightly formal voice suited to narrative and commentary.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that balances calligraphic character with disciplined construction, prioritizing smooth reading texture and a familiar, traditional presence in extended copy.
Numerals appear oldstyle and text-oriented, with varying heights and a more handwritten cadence that blends naturally into running text. The italic forms maintain consistent serif treatment and spacing, producing a cohesive texture at paragraph sizes without feeling rigid.
