A robust italic serif with noticeably bracketed serifs, rounded stroke endings, and a gentle calligraphic flow. The strokes show moderate modulation, with thickened verticals and tapered joins that keep counters open despite the heavy texture. Terminals often finish in soft teardrops or slight hooks (notably in the lowercase), while capitals are compact and stable with sturdy, curved serifs and a slight forward slant. Numerals and punctuation match the same weight and curvature, creating an even, cohesive rhythm across mixed text.
Well suited to editorial headlines, book-cover titling, and pull quotes where an italic voice is needed with strong presence. It can also support traditional branding and packaging that benefits from a classic serif tone and a compact, authoritative texture.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, with a warm, slightly old-style personality. Its italic energy feels confident rather than flashy, giving text an expressive emphasis while staying grounded and conventional.
The design appears intended to provide a sturdy, highly legible italic companion with a classic serif vocabulary—adding emphasis and elegance while maintaining a conventional, text-oriented structure and consistent weight across the glyph set.
The letterforms favor rounded interior shapes and smooth transitions, producing a dense but readable color at display sizes. Curvature in characters like C, G, S, and the lowercase a/e reinforces a continuous, handwritten-like motion without becoming script-like.
