A slanted serif with oldstyle proportions and softly bracketed serifs, showing a calligraphic undercurrent in the way strokes taper and join. Curves are generous and slightly asymmetric, with an oblique stress that gives rounds a lively, handwritten rhythm. Terminals often finish in subtle wedges or flicks, and the spacing feels open enough for text while maintaining an organic, variable rhythm across letters and figures. Uppercase forms are sturdy and traditional, while the lowercase shows more movement in letters like a, e, g, and y, reinforcing the italic texture.
Well-suited to book and editorial typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, citations, dialogue, and pull quotes. It can also serve in refined branding or packaging that benefits from a traditional, humanist serif texture without appearing overly rigid.
The overall tone is classic and literary, evoking traditional book typography with a personable, human touch. Its italic slant and gently animated terminals convey warmth and refinement rather than sharp formality, making it feel inviting and articulate.
The design appears intended as a conventional, text-oriented italic that adds nuanced motion and warmth while preserving a familiar serif structure. Its moderated contrast, bracketed serifs, and calligraphic cues suggest a focus on comfortable reading rhythm and classic typographic color.
Numerals follow the same inclined, oldstyle feeling, with rounded forms and modest contrast that stay consistent with the text color. The italic construction reads as a true text companion rather than a dramatic display italic, prioritizing smooth flow and steady readability.
