A slanted serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and moderate stroke modulation. The letterforms show a clear diagonal stress and a smooth, pen-informed rhythm, with tapered terminals and crisp joins. Uppercase proportions feel balanced and slightly narrow, while the lowercase maintains a steady, readable texture with a normal-looking x-height and gently flowing curves. Numerals match the text style, with oldstyle-like movement and varying widths that keep the overall color lively in running text.
Well suited to book and long-form editorial settings where an italic serif voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or display-like passages. It also fits magazine features, cultural publishing, and refined branding applications that benefit from a traditional, literary character.
The font projects a classic, literary tone with an editorial polish. Its italic slant and calligraphic detailing add sophistication and motion, creating a voice that feels established, cultured, and slightly formal without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that prioritizes readability while adding a distinctly calligraphic, editorial flavor. Its controlled contrast and bracketed serifs suggest a focus on dependable paragraph texture with an elevated, classic tone.
Stroke endings are clean and pointed rather than blunt, and the italic construction emphasizes forward momentum in diagonals and curves. The overall spacing and sidebearings appear tuned for continuous reading, producing an even, slightly animated texture in paragraphs.
