A slanted serif with a traditional, oldstyle structure and bracketed serifs that taper into the stems. Strokes show clear modulation with rounded entry/exit terminals and slightly teardrop-like forms, giving the letters a fluid, calligraphic rhythm rather than a rigid mechanical feel. Uppercase proportions feel moderately wide with generous internal counters, while the lowercase is compact with a comparatively low x-height and prominent ascenders/descenders. Overall spacing and letterfit read as text-oriented, with smooth curves and subtly lively detailing in joins and terminals.
Well suited to editorial and book typography where an italic serif voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, introductions, or running text with a classic feel. It can also serve effectively in invitations, certificates, and brand materials aiming for a traditional, cultivated tone.
The tone is classic and literary, suggesting printed books, editorial typography, and formal correspondence. Its slant and softly shaped terminals add warmth and motion, keeping it from feeling austere while still remaining polished and traditional.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, readable italic serif with humanist warmth—balancing classical proportions and bracketed serifs with gently calligraphic movement for comfortable, elegant text setting.
Numerals follow the same italicized, oldstyle flavor, with varied silhouettes and curved strokes that blend naturally with text. The capital forms maintain a restrained elegance, and the lowercase shows distinctive, handwritten-inflected shapes that reinforce a historical, humanist impression.
