A slanted serif with gently bracketed serifs and a soft, slightly calligraphic stroke flow. The letterforms show moderate modulation with rounded joins and tapered terminals that keep the texture smooth rather than sharp. Capitals are broad and steady, while the lowercase has a rhythmic, slightly informal italic construction with single-storey forms and compact apertures. Numerals follow the same italicized, oldstyle-friendly feel, with curved shapes and understated terminals that maintain an even, readable color in text.
It suits book and editorial typography where a classic serif voice is desired, performing well in paragraphs, pull quotes, and subheads. The pronounced italic character also makes it a strong choice for emphasis, introductions, and literary or cultural titles where a slightly more animated tone is helpful.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, with a warm, humanist liveliness that feels comfortable in continuous reading. Its italic energy adds motion and expressiveness without becoming flashy, giving it an understated, classic personality.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional text-serif foundation with an expressive italic flavor—prioritizing comfortable readability while adding a touch of historical, humanist warmth for editorial and literary settings.
The slant is consistent across cases, and the serif treatment stays cohesive from capitals through figures, producing a unified texture. Rounded details and moderate contrast help it hold up in paragraphs while still providing enough character for editorial display.
