A slanted serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and a moderately modulated stroke. The letterforms show an oblique stress and calligraphic shaping, with gently tapered terminals and smooth curve-to-stem joins. Proportions lean slightly narrow in the capitals while the lowercase remains open and readable, with flowing ascenders/descenders and a consistent, even rhythm across words. Numerals appear oldstyle in construction, integrating naturally with lowercase text color.
It performs well in long-form reading settings such as books, essays, and editorial layouts, especially where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or secondary text. It can also suit formal stationery and printed programs where a classic serif tone is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, conveying a composed, cultivated voice. Its italic slant and shaped terminals add a subtle elegance that feels suited to literary and institutional contexts rather than overtly modern or technical ones.
The design appears intended as a conventional text italic that balances classical serif structure with a gentle calligraphic inclination. It aims to provide a clear, dependable reading texture while adding a refined italic character for emphasis and literary tone.
Capitals have a restrained, classical presence with clean serifs and modest flourish, while the lowercase carries more movement and cursive influence. The italic angle is steady and the spacing looks tuned for continuous reading, producing a smooth grayscale in the sample paragraphs.
