This is a modulated italic serif with a lively rightward slant and clearly bracketed, wedge-like serifs. Strokes show moderate contrast and a subtly calligraphic rhythm, with curved joins and tapered terminals that keep counters open and shapes readable. Capitals are sturdy and slightly wide in feel, while the lowercase is more fluid, featuring single-storey forms (notably the “a”) and rounded bowls. Numerals and punctuation follow the same italic construction, with smooth curves and firm baseline anchoring.
Well-suited to editorial and long-form reading contexts such as books, magazines, and academic or literary layouts where an italic voice is needed for emphasis. It can also serve refined branding or packaging that benefits from a classic, text-serif feel without excessive ornament.
The tone is traditional and bookish, evoking established editorial typography and printed literature. Its slanted, pen-informed forms add warmth and motion without becoming decorative, giving the face a confident, cultivated voice.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic: providing clear emphasis, smooth word shapes, and a familiar, authoritative typographic color appropriate for editorial work. Its moderate contrast and bracketed serifs suggest a focus on balanced readability and a timeless, print-oriented character.
Spacing appears even and measured, supporting continuous reading, while the italic angle and tapered endings create a consistent forward flow across words. The overall texture is dark enough for emphasis but remains balanced due to open counters and moderate contrast.
