This is an italic serif with moderate stroke contrast and a gently calligraphic construction. Serifs are bracketed and wedge-like, and many joins show soft, tapered transitions rather than sharp mechanical corners. The axis of round letters leans subtly, with angled stress visible in forms like O and C, while curves remain open and well modulated. Proportions feel bookish and balanced: capitals are sturdy and slightly wide, lowercase has a normal x-height with clear ascenders and descenders, and spacing keeps an even text rhythm. Numerals follow the same italic, oldstyle-inflected logic with curved terminals and varying widths that integrate smoothly into running text.
Well suited to long-form editorial settings such as books, magazines, and scholarly or literary layouts, especially where an italic style is needed for emphasis, citations, and secondary text. It can also serve in refined headings, pull quotes, and classic identity applications that benefit from a traditional serif italic with a steady reading rhythm.
The tone is traditional and literary, with an editorial, academic confidence typical of book typography. Its italic voice reads as cultivated rather than flamboyant, suggesting emphasis, quotation, and narrative nuance. Overall it conveys formality and credibility without feeling rigid.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that prioritizes readability and a composed page color, while adding a subtle calligraphic warmth through bracketed serifs, angled stress, and tapered terminals.
The italic angle is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, and the letterforms maintain a steady baseline and clear counters at text sizes. Several characters show distinctive, slightly curved terminals and wedge serifs that add warmth to the texture, while maintaining a restrained, conventional appearance for continuous reading.
