A slanted serif text face with moderate contrast and a distinctly calligraphic, oldstyle construction. Strokes taper into bracketed serifs, with gently cupped terminals and a slightly dynamic baseline rhythm typical of italic forms. Counters are open and rounded, joins are smooth, and the lowercase shows a flowing ductus—particularly in the single-storey a and g and the long, curved entry/exit strokes on letters like f, j, and y. Capitals are sturdy and readable, with crisp serifs and subtly angled stress that keeps the texture lively without becoming sharp or high-contrast.
Well-suited for continuous reading in books and long-form editorial layouts, especially where an italic is needed for emphasis, citations, or sidebars. It can also serve effectively in refined headings, pull quotes, and magazine typography where a classic serif voice with a lively slant is desired.
The overall tone feels bookish and cultivated, leaning toward traditional publishing and humanist warmth rather than display drama. Its italic posture and tapered details add a sense of movement and elegance, suggesting emphasis, quotation, or a more expressive editorial voice while staying restrained and familiar.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable serif italic that carries historical, humanist influence while remaining versatile for modern publishing. Its moderated contrast and bracketed serifs aim to balance clarity with a graceful, slightly expressive texture.
In text, the spacing and letterfit create an even, readable color, while the italic forms introduce noticeable personality through sweeping descenders and gently varied stroke endings. Numerals appear consistent with the text style, with serifed forms and a traditional, slightly angled demeanor that matches the alphabet.
