A slanted serif with bracketed, wedge-like terminals and smoothly modulated strokes. The letterforms show an oldstyle influence: rounded bowls, softly tapered joins, and a slightly varied, calligraphic rhythm rather than rigid geometry. Counters are open and the overall color is even, with clear thick–thin interplay that stays controlled in text. Italic construction is evident throughout, with curved entry/exit strokes and a flowing baseline presence that keeps the texture continuous.
Well suited to book and long-form editorial settings where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, introductions, captions, or pull quotes. It also fits refined branding applications—such as packaging, menus, or cultural materials—where a classic serif italic can add sophistication and pace without sacrificing readability.
The font conveys a traditional, literary tone with a warm, cultivated elegance. Its italic motion adds energy and refinement, reading as formal without feeling stiff, suitable for expressive but restrained typography.
Likely designed to provide a versatile, conventional serif italic with a warm oldstyle feel—balancing tradition, readability, and a subtle handwritten cadence for comfortable continuous reading and tasteful emphasis.
Capitals feel stately and steady, while lowercase forms carry most of the movement and personality through curved shoulders and tapered terminals. Numerals follow the same serifed, slightly calligraphic logic, blending naturally into running text.
