A slanted serif with bracketed, sharply tapered serifs and a gently calligraphic stroke flow. The letterforms show moderate thick–thin modulation with smooth curves and crisp terminals, creating a rhythmic, slightly lively texture in text. Counters are relatively open and proportions feel balanced rather than condensed, with a readable, traditional construction across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
Well suited to editorial typography, book interiors, and magazine layouts where an italic with strong readability is needed for emphasis, citations, and pull quotes. It can also serve refined branding and formal printed materials—such as invitations or programs—where a classic serif voice is appropriate.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with an editorial elegance that reads as cultivated and formal. Its italic posture adds motion and emphasis without becoming decorative, lending a poised, traditional voice to longer passages and quotes.
Likely designed as a conventional, text-oriented serif italic that prioritizes comfortable reading texture while providing a polished, classical flavor. The controlled contrast and bracketed serifs suggest an intention to feel established and trustworthy, with enough italic character to add expressive emphasis.
Capitals are stately and clean, while the lowercase shows more distinctive italic manners—curving entry strokes, angled joins, and energetic terminals that keep lines from feeling rigid. Numerals follow the same serifed, old-style leaning character, supporting a consistent typographic color across mixed content.
