A slanted serif with bracketed serifs and gently tapered strokes that stay fairly even in weight. The letterforms show a calligraphic rhythm: curved joins and terminals feel smooth and slightly drawn, and the italic construction is evident in the angled stems and flowing entry/exit strokes. Proportions are moderately narrow with compact counters, and the overall spacing reads controlled rather than airy, supporting continuous text. Numerals follow the same italic, serifed style and sit comfortably with the lowercase in texture.
This font suits editorial and book typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, introductions, or sidebars. It can also work for refined headlines and short titles that benefit from a classic, cultured tone without becoming overly decorative.
The tone is polished and literary, leaning toward traditional elegance rather than display flair. Its steady texture and restrained detailing feel appropriate for formal communication, while the italic movement adds a sense of liveliness and sophistication.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, readable serif italic for continuous text, balancing traditional forms with a fluid, calligraphic slant. It aims for an even paragraph texture and a familiar, trustworthy presence across letters and numerals.
Uppercase forms appear disciplined and classical, while the lowercase shows more motion, giving paragraphs a consistent diagonal flow. The serifs are not sharp or brittle; they resolve with soft brackets, which helps maintain a smooth, continuous reading color in longer settings.
