A conventional italic serif with softly bracketed serifs and a gently calligraphic construction. Strokes show moderate contrast with oblique axis cues, and terminals often finish in small hooks or tapered flicks that keep the rhythm lively. Proportions lean slightly narrow with variable letter widths, while the lowercase maintains a steady, readable x-height and open counters. The figures are oldstyle-leaning in feel, matching the text color and stroke modulation of the letters.
Well-suited for immersive reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a classical italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or secondary text. It also fits literary branding and refined print applications that benefit from a traditional serif texture without looking overly rigid.
The overall tone is bookish and cultivated, with an elegant, human touch rather than a sharply formal one. Its italic movement adds a sense of fluency and warmth, suggesting traditional publishing and editorial typography.
Likely designed as a dependable, conventional italic companion for text typography, balancing moderate contrast and bracketed serifs with a subtle handwritten energy. The aim appears to be comfortable paragraph performance while preserving a familiar, historically grounded serif character.
The design keeps a consistent slant and modulation across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, producing an even text color in paragraphs. Curved letters show smooth joins and rounded transitions, and the italic forms retain clear differentiation between similar shapes for continuous reading.
