This is an italic text serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a moderately calligraphic stroke flow. The letters show a consistent rightward slant, with gently modulated thick–thin transitions and softly tapered terminals. Counters are open and rounded, curves are smooth, and joins feel slightly pen-influenced rather than mechanical. Proportions are balanced for text, with comfortable spacing and a steady rhythm across lowercase and uppercase forms.
It works well for body text and long-form reading, especially where an italic companion is needed for emphasis, quotations, captions, or scholarly apparatus. The even color and open shapes also suit editorial design such as magazines and literary journals.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a polite formality suited to traditional publishing. Its italic voice reads as expressive but controlled, evoking editorial emphasis and historical typesetting rather than a flashy display style.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable italic for text typography, aiming to provide a smooth, cohesive word image with traditional serif cues and a measured level of calligraphic character.
Uppercase forms carry a dignified presence with subtle curvature and restrained detailing, while the lowercase maintains a continuous, flowing texture in words. Numerals follow the same italic stress and serif treatment, blending naturally into running text.
