An italic serif with moderately angled axis and smooth, calligraphic modulation. Serifs are bracketed and gently tapered, with rounded joins and a consistent, flowing rhythm. Capitals are slightly wide and stately, while the lowercase shows lively cursive construction with single-story forms (notably a and g) and pronounced entry/exit strokes. Overall spacing feels even and readable, with open counters and a cohesive slant across letters and figures.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, especially where italic emphasis is frequent. It also works effectively for pull quotes, captions, and refined brand materials that need a classic serif voice. The cohesive figures make it appropriate for text containing dates and quantities without disrupting the page color.
The tone is traditional and bookish, with a polished, humanist warmth rather than a sharp modern feel. Its italics read as expressive and elegant, suited to nuanced emphasis and literary voice. The style suggests formality and credibility without becoming rigid or ornamental.
The design appears intended as a conventional text italic that prioritizes readability and typographic elegance. Its humanist, calligraphic cues provide expressive emphasis while maintaining a disciplined, classical structure for sustained setting.
Numerals follow the italic slant and retain the same serifed, moderately contrasty construction, helping them blend smoothly into text. The ampersand is compact and classical, and punctuation (like the apostrophe and dot) appears crisp and unobtrusive. Overall texture in paragraphs is calm and continuous, with clear word shapes and restrained stroke flair.
