A conventional serif with a clear italic slant and moderate stroke modulation. Serifs are bracketed and gently tapered, and terminals often finish with soft, teardrop-like forms that give the outlines a slightly calligraphic flavor. Proportions feel traditional, with open counters and a steady, bookish rhythm; curves are rounded and the joins are smooth rather than sharp. The italic is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, producing a cohesive, flowing texture in text.
This font suits long-form reading contexts such as books and magazines, where a classic italic serif can provide comfortable texture and a refined voice. It also works well for editorial typography—introductions, pull quotes, captions, and other places where italic emphasis is frequent and needs to feel integrated with the page.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a warm, humanist elegance that reads as familiar rather than showy. Its italic movement adds a sense of refinement and forward motion, suitable for expressive but still traditional typography.
The design appears intended as a dependable, traditional italic serif for continuous text, combining familiar oldstyle cues with enough contrast and shaping to stay crisp in print-like layouts. Its goal is clarity and elegance, delivering emphasis and tone without sacrificing readability.
Capitals remain relatively restrained and upright in construction while still following the italic inclination, helping headings feel formal without becoming overly decorative. Numerals share the same serifed, italicized character, supporting harmonious use in running text and editorial settings.
