This is an italic serif with softly bracketed serifs and gently tapered strokes that produce a calm, medium-contrast rhythm. The letterforms lean consistently and feel slightly expansive, with rounded joins and modest stroke modulation that reads more calligraphic than geometric. Counters are open and the overall texture is smooth and even, with small, rounded terminals and a comfortable, traditional italic cadence across both uppercase and lowercase.
It suits editorial typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, pull quotes, captions, and refined display lines. The smooth texture and open forms also make it appropriate for longer-form reading in book or magazine contexts, as well as tasteful invitations and formal announcements where a traditional italic feel is desired.
The tone is classic and literary, suggesting traditional book typography and refined editorial settings. Its warmth comes from the rounded terminals and moderated contrast, while the steady slant and serif structure keep it formal and composed rather than playful.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable italic serif that balances calligraphic influence with text-oriented stability. It aims to provide a warm, classic companion voice for sophisticated typography, emphasizing continuity, elegance, and comfortable readability.
Uppercase forms show restrained, conventional shapes with subtle flare at stroke ends, while lowercase includes lively italic constructions (single-storey a and g) that reinforce a continuous, handwritten flow. Numerals follow the same italic logic and maintain consistent color with the text, making mixed alphanumeric settings feel cohesive.
