This is an italic serif with flowing, calligraphic construction and gently bracketed serifs. Strokes show a clear diagonal stress and moderate modulation, with tapered entries and subtly flared terminals that keep curves lively. Capitals are relatively upright in structure but slanted overall, with crisp serif detailing and a slightly narrow, elegant stance; the lowercase is more cursive in feel, with smooth joins and pronounced forward movement. Spacing appears moderately open for an italic, supporting readable word shapes, while figures follow the same slanted, serifed logic and blend naturally with text.
Well-suited for editorial settings such as magazines and book interiors where an italic is needed for emphasis, quotations, or captions while staying comfortably within a classical serif texture. It can also work in formal applications—programs, invitations, and refined branding—especially where a traditional, italic voice is desired without excessive ornament.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking book typography, editorial polish, and a measured sense of formality. Its italic rhythm feels expressive without becoming decorative, giving text a refined, literary voice rather than a loud display personality.
The design appears intended as a conventional text companion italic: a readable, expressive serif that adds emphasis and elegance while preserving steady rhythm and typographic restraint. Its moderate contrast and bracketed serifs suggest an aim for dependable readability with a distinctly classic, literary character.
The italic angle is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, and the design favors long, sweeping curves and tapered stroke endings over blunt cuts. Round letters maintain a smooth, continuous contour, while straighter forms keep sharp, clean serif transitions that reinforce a classic text-serif idiom.
