A slanted serif with a humanist, oldstyle skeleton and gently flared stroke endings. The forms show smooth, continuous curves and modest modulation, with softened joins and tapered terminals that give stems a slightly calligraphic feel. Counters are open and rounded, with a flowing baseline rhythm and generous apertures in many lowercase shapes; serifs read as bracketed and subtly splayed rather than sharply cut. Overall spacing and proportions favor an easy, text-oriented texture while retaining a graceful, slightly lively italic motion.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where a warm italic voice is needed for emphasis, pull quotes, or refined body copy. It can also support elegant invitations and branding systems that want a classic serif tone with a softer, more human cadence.
The font conveys a literary, cultivated tone—classic without feeling rigid. Its italic energy and flared details add warmth and elegance, suggesting tradition, storytelling, and editorial sophistication rather than stark modernity.
The design appears intended to provide a readable, expressive italic serif that balances traditional book typography with a subtly contemporary smoothness. Flared terminals and bracketed details aim to deliver warmth and sophistication while keeping the overall texture calm and serviceable for editorial use.
Uppercase characters maintain a dignified presence with smooth curves and restrained detailing, while the lowercase carries most of the calligraphic character through tapered endings and lively entry/exit strokes. Numerals appear oldstyle-leaning in spirit, harmonizing with the text rhythm and reinforcing a bookish, traditional feel.
