A slanted serif with a humanist, oldstyle foundation and clearly bracketed serifs. Strokes show modest contrast with softly swelling joins and tapered terminals, giving the outlines a subtly calligraphic flow rather than rigid geometry. Proportions feel moderately wide and lively, with varied letter widths and open interior counters that keep the texture readable. The italic construction is consistent across caps and lowercase, with gently curved entry/exit strokes and rounded, slightly cupped serifs that soften the overall silhouette.
Well-suited to long-form reading contexts such as books, essays, and magazine typography, where a comfortable italic texture is useful for emphasis, quotations, and nuanced hierarchy. It can also serve well in refined print materials like invitations or cultural programs when a classic, literary voice is desired.
The tone is bookish and traditional, with an approachable warmth that recalls editorial and literary typography. Its italic slant and calligraphic modulation add a sense of movement and refinement, making it feel expressive without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that prioritizes continuous reading texture while retaining a distinctly human, calligraphic character. It balances tradition and expressiveness to provide an elegant, dependable voice for editorial typography.
Capitals are steady and dignified, pairing well with a more animated lowercase that carries the italic rhythm. Numerals follow the same slanted, serifed logic and read clearly at text sizes, reinforcing a cohesive, print-oriented color.
