This is an italic serif with an oldstyle, calligraphic construction and gentle diagonal stress. Strokes are smooth and relatively even, with modest thick–thin modulation and clearly bracketed serifs that feel rounded rather than sharp. Counters are open and proportions are slightly lively, giving a subtle variation in letter widths across the alphabet without breaking overall consistency. The italic angle is moderate and steady, with curved entries and exits that keep words flowing cleanly in text.
Well suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where an italic voice is needed for emphasis or secondary text. It also fits refined print materials—such as magazine features, program notes, or academic documents—where a classical serif texture and calm continuity are desired.
The tone is traditional and bookish, evoking established editorial typography rather than display exuberance. Its softened details and measured rhythm read as cultured and composed, with a lightly humanist warmth that keeps it from feeling rigid or mechanical.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, highly readable italic companion with a classic serif texture. Its goal is to balance formality and warmth through bracketed serifs, controlled modulation, and a steady slant that supports comfortable continuous reading.
Capitals are poised and slightly narrow, with restrained serif shaping that stays crisp at the extremes. Lowercase forms show a smooth reading rhythm and clear differentiation between similar shapes, while figures appear lining and harmonized to the serif style with gently curved terminals.
