A slanted serif with gently flared, bracketed terminals and smooth, low-contrast modulation. The curves show an angled stress and open apertures, while capitals are broad and steady with restrained, sculpted serifs. Lowercase forms feel humanist and slightly calligraphic, with round counters, modest ascenders/descenders, and a softly tapering rhythm that stays even across text sizes. Numerals follow the same shaping, with traditional proportions and calm, readable figures.
Well-suited to editorial design, magazines, and book typography where a refined italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotes, or headings. It can also support brand identities and packaging that want a classic, premium feel without heavy contrast or overly sharp detailing.
The overall tone is bookish and cultured, combining traditional serif manners with a lighter, more conversational italic energy. It reads as polished rather than dramatic, lending a quiet sophistication that feels at home in literary and editorial contexts.
Likely designed to provide a versatile italic serif with traditional proportions and a warm, flared finishing, balancing readability with a distinctly literary tone. The goal appears to be an italic that can carry both continuous text and display settings while keeping a cohesive, composed texture.
The italic angle is consistent and not overly steep, which helps maintain clarity in longer passages. Terminals often widen subtly into flare-like endings instead of sharp hairlines, giving the design a slightly engraved, old-style warmth while keeping the texture smooth and controlled.
