A slanted serif with bracketed serifs, tapered strokes, and moderate thick–thin modulation. Forms are relatively open and generously spaced, with a smooth, even rhythm suited to continuous reading. Serifs are not abrupt; they resolve with soft joins and occasional slight flare, while curves show a controlled, calligraphic influence. The lowercase has a traditional structure with clear ascenders/descenders and a calm, steady texture in paragraphs.
Well suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and magazine features where an italic voice is needed without sacrificing clarity. It can also serve refined branding, quotes, pull-captions, and formal announcements where a classic serif italic tone is appropriate.
The overall tone feels literary and cultivated, with a gentle formality rather than sharp drama. Its italic motion reads as fluent and expressive, suggesting editorial polish and classical taste.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that balances readability with a modest calligraphic lift. It aims for a familiar, trustworthy page color while adding enough movement and detail to carry emphasis and editorial nuance.
Numerals appear oldstyle with noticeable ascenders/descenders and lively shapes, reinforcing a bookish, text-first character. Capitals stay restrained and readable, while lowercase details (like the ear and terminal treatments) add warmth without becoming decorative.
