A slanted serif text face with gently bracketed serifs and soft, calligraphic modulation. Strokes show moderate contrast with rounded joins and slightly tapered terminals, producing a fluid rhythm rather than a rigid, mechanical texture. Proportions are open and readable, with a normal x-height and comfortable counters; curves are full and slightly asymmetrical in the manner of oldstyle italics. The lowercase has a lively, variable-width feel, while capitals remain steady and bookish, creating a balanced text color in running copy.
Well-suited for editorial typography where an italic companion is needed for emphasis, quotations, titles, and inline highlights. The moderated contrast and open forms also make it appropriate for longer passages in books or magazines, as well as captions and refined print materials where a traditional serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with an understated elegance typical of traditional book italics. Its warm, human touch feels editorial and cultivated rather than flashy, lending emphasis that reads as refined and trustworthy.
The design appears intended as a conventional, highly readable text italic with a humanist, oldstyle foundation. Its goal is to provide expressive emphasis and smooth reading flow while maintaining the restrained formality expected of classic serif typography.
The italic construction is evident throughout, with curved entry/exit strokes and a gentle forward momentum that helps words connect visually. Numerals and capitals keep the same soft-serif language, supporting consistent typographic color when mixing text and figures.
