A slanted text serif with crisp bracketed serifs and a gently calligraphic construction. Strokes show a clear contrast with tapered entry/exit terminals and a diagonal stress that gives rounds a slightly dynamic, pen-driven feel. Proportions are moderately narrow with open counters and smooth curves; capitals are elegant and restrained, while lowercase forms keep a traditional rhythm with compact, flowing joins and softly finishing terminals. Figures are serifed and stylistically consistent with the text, with oldstyle-like curvature and a refined, delicate presence.
Well-suited to continuous reading in books and editorial layouts where an elegant italic serif voice is desired. It also fits refined front matter, pull quotes, and formal print pieces such as invitations or programs, where the delicate contrast and traditional detailing can shine.
The overall tone is classical and literary, suggesting bookish refinement rather than display exuberance. Its italic slant and tapered terminals add a sense of motion and sophistication, giving text an editorial, cultured voice.
Likely designed to provide a conventional, readable italic serif with a classical, pen-informed character, balancing graceful detail with steady text rhythm for polished long-form typography.
The italics are assertive enough to read as a true italic rather than a mere oblique, with distinctive letterform shaping in the lowercase and lively ascenders/descenders. Spacing appears even and text color stays relatively light, making the face feel airy and polished at moderate sizes.
