A traditional italic serif with gently bracketed serifs, rounded terminals, and a steady, low-contrast stroke. The letterforms lean consistently, with softly tapered joins and open counters that keep the texture readable at text sizes. Proportions feel balanced and moderately compact, with a conventional x-height and clear ascender/descender rhythm. Numerals appear oldstyle with varied heights and subtle curves, reinforcing a continuous, text-friendly color.
Well-suited to long-form reading contexts such as books, magazines, and editorial layouts where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, citations, or secondary text. It can also serve effectively in literary titling, pull quotes, and other text-centric applications that benefit from a classic serif italic texture.
The overall tone is classic and literary, evoking printed books and editorial typography rather than overt display styling. Its mild calligraphic flavor adds warmth and human cadence while staying restrained and professional.
Likely designed as a conventional text italic that prioritizes continuous readability and an even typographic rhythm, while adding a subtle, humanist calligraphic character for emphasis and editorial nuance.
Curves and terminals are slightly rounded, which softens the page color and reduces brittleness in small sizes. The italic construction is evident across both capitals and lowercase, giving paragraphs a cohesive forward motion without looking overly slanted or ornate.
