This italic serif shows a calm, book-oriented rhythm with moderate stroke contrast and a clear diagonal stress. Serifs are bracketed and gently tapered, with soft, calligraphic join behavior that keeps counters open and readable. The slant is steady rather than dramatic, and the overall texture stays even across mixed-case text, with slightly lively terminals that add motion without looking decorative. Uppercase forms feel dignified and stable, while the lowercase has a subtle handwritten influence in its curves and entry/exit strokes.
It fits comfortably in book and magazine typography, especially for emphasis, quotations, and secondary text where a traditional italic is expected. It also suits formal communications—programs, invitations, and refined branding—where a conservative serif voice with a graceful slant is appropriate.
The font conveys a classic, literary tone—polished and traditional, with a hint of humanist warmth. Its italic character reads as editorial and cultured rather than flamboyant, suggesting emphasis and elegance suited to long-form reading.
The design appears intended as a conventional text italic that prioritizes readability and a familiar publishing aesthetic. Its restrained contrast, bracketed serifs, and measured slant suggest it was drawn to blend smoothly with regular serif text while providing elegant emphasis.
Numerals appear lining in height with an oldstyle-like flow in curvature, keeping the overall color consistent in text. The italic ‘f’ and ‘j’ show pronounced descenders and the lowercase ‘a’ is single-storey, reinforcing the text-italic, calligraphic feel.
