A slanted serif with a smooth, calligraphic flow and moderately modulated stroke weight. The letters show bracketed serifs and gently rounded joins, with soft, slightly tapered terminals that keep the texture lively without becoming sharp. Counters are open and proportions feel traditional, balancing sturdy verticals with more energetic diagonals; the overall rhythm is even and readable, with a subtle oldstyle character in the curves and numerals.
Well suited to editorial typography and longer-form reading where an italic serif can provide emphasis, voice, or quoted material while staying highly legible. It can also work for refined front matter, pull quotes, headings, and formal stationery where a classic, traditional texture is desired.
The font conveys a classic, literary tone—confident and polished, but not cold. Its italic stance and soft serif shaping give it a warm, cultivated voice that feels at home in editorial and book contexts, suggesting tradition and credibility with a touch of elegance.
Likely designed to provide a dependable, conventional serif italic with a slightly oldstyle flavor—prioritizing readability and a smooth text rhythm while offering a refined, expressive slant for emphasis and elegant display within traditional layouts.
Curves are drawn with a steady hand and a consistent slant, producing a cohesive line of text with clear word shapes. Capitals have restrained, conventional forms that pair smoothly with the lowercase, while the figures follow the same gently modeled, serifed construction for a unified typographic color.
