An italic serif with traditional, bracketed serifs and moderate contrast between thick and thin strokes. The letterforms lean consistently with a smooth, calligraphic flow, showing teardrop-like terminals and gently tapered joins rather than abrupt cuts. Proportions feel bookish and slightly compact, with rounded bowls and a restrained, even rhythm that stays legible in continuous text. Numerals follow the same italic texture, with curved forms and clear differentiation across 0–9.
Well suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and magazine layouts where an italic is needed for emphasis, quotations, or section openers. It can also support classic-forward branding for publishers, cultural institutions, and packaging that benefits from a refined, traditional voice.
The overall tone is classic and literary, suggesting editorial polish and a traditional reading experience. Its italic voice feels expressive without becoming decorative, lending a refined, slightly old-world character suited to dignified, text-forward design.
Likely designed as a conventional text italic that harmonizes with book typography norms, prioritizing a steady rhythm and comfortable readability while retaining a touch of calligraphic elegance for emphasis and display lines.
Curves and serifs are softly modeled, avoiding sharp corners, which creates a continuous, ink-on-paper impression. The lowercase shows a lively, handwritten influence in letters like a, e, f, and y, while caps remain composed and formal for headings and emphasis.
