A slanted serif with sturdy, calligraphic construction and clearly bracketed serifs. Strokes show a moderate, lively modulation with an oblique axis, and many terminals finish with soft teardrop or ball-like shapes that add weight and warmth. Proportions are fairly traditional, with compact apertures and a steady rhythm in text, while the italic angle and rounded joins keep forms flowing and continuous. The numerals share the same serifed, slightly calligraphic treatment, maintaining consistent color in running settings.
This design fits well in editorial layouts, book typography, and literary or academic settings where a traditional serif italic is needed for emphasis or tone. It also suits display applications like refined headlines, pull quotes, and formal printed pieces such as invitations or programs where a classic, confident voice is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, with a confident, editorial voice. Its italic movement and softened terminals give it a personable warmth, while the sturdy serifs and disciplined structure keep it anchored and formal. It reads as established rather than experimental, suited to refined, classic typography.
The font appears designed as a conventional serif italic that balances readability with a visibly calligraphic character. Its intent seems to provide a strong, dependable text voice with enough personality in the terminals and slant to convey elegance and emphasis in continuous reading.
In the sample text, the face produces an even, dark texture that emphasizes emphasis and tone over lightness. Uppercase forms feel stable and slightly compact, while lowercase shapes lean into a cursive-italic flow, creating clear hierarchy and strong word shapes. The combination of pronounced serifs and rounded terminals yields a distinctive, slightly old-style flavor without becoming ornamental.
