An italic text serif with bracketed serifs, flowing entry/exit strokes, and a gently calligraphic rhythm. Forms lean consistently with oblique stress and moderate stroke modulation, balancing crisp hairlines against sturdier main strokes. The proportions feel on the broader side, with open counters and clear interior space that helps letters stay distinct in running text. Numerals share the same italic construction and serif treatment, keeping the overall texture cohesive.
Well suited to editorial typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or secondary text, and it can also serve as a refined choice for literary titles and headings. The open counters and controlled contrast help it remain readable in paragraphs while still offering a distinctly elegant texture.
The font conveys a polished, literary tone—cultured and traditional without feeling overly ornate. Its italic movement adds a sense of elegance and forward momentum, suggesting bookish refinement and editorial seriousness rather than display drama.
The design appears aimed at providing a conventional, trustworthy italic serif for text settings—combining traditional serif construction with a measured calligraphic slant to deliver clarity, continuity, and a distinctly formal tone.
Curves resolve into tapered terminals and small wedge-like serifs, giving a clean, engraved finish in both capitals and lowercase. The italic shapes remain steady and readable, with a smooth line of action that produces an even, continuous typographic color across longer passages.
