An italic serif with moderately bracketed wedge-like terminals and a steady, medium-contrast stroke pattern. The slant is consistent and fairly pronounced, with subtly calligraphic modulation and diagonal stress visible in rounded forms. Uppercase letters are compact and structured, while the lowercase shows fluid joins and tapered entry/exit strokes, creating an energetic rhythm without becoming decorative. Figures are oldstyle-leaning in feel with varied widths and curved forms, matching the texty, bookish color of the letterforms.
Well-suited for book and long-form editorial typography where an italic companion is needed for emphasis, quotations, captions, and secondary hierarchy. It can also work for refined packaging and branding applications that benefit from a classic, cultivated italic serif tone.
The font conveys a traditional, literary tone with a polished, editorial sensibility. Its italic voice feels purposeful and rhetorical—suited to emphasis—balancing elegance with a slightly lively, handwritten undertone.
Likely designed as a conventional text-serif italic intended to read comfortably in paragraphs while still providing a distinct, expressive emphasis style. The controlled contrast and consistent slant suggest an aim for dependable editorial performance rather than display ornament.
Serifs are crisp but not sharp, and curves tend to finish in soft, angled terminals that keep the texture smooth at reading sizes. The overall spacing and proportions produce a dense, cohesive line, with italic forms that read clearly in continuous text.
