A serif italic with gently bracketed serifs and a soft, calligraphic modulation. Strokes show moderate thick–thin contrast with a diagonal stress, and many forms have subtly flared or tapered terminals that keep the texture lively without becoming sharp. The italic slant is consistent and smooth, with rounded bowls and slightly open apertures that maintain readability. Overall spacing and rhythm feel even and bookish, producing a coherent, traditional text color across lines.
Well-suited to extended reading contexts such as book typography and editorial layouts, especially for emphasis, introductions, and pull quotes. It can also serve in refined titles and short-form display where a traditional italic serif tone is desired.
The font conveys a classic, literary tone—polished and editorial, with a warm human touch. Its italic voice feels expressive and slightly formal, suggesting sophistication rather than speed or casualness.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, highly readable serif italic with classical proportions and gentle calligraphic cues, aiming for a dependable typographic voice that feels established and cultured in text-centric settings.
Capitals are dignified and slightly calligraphy-leaning, pairing well with the more fluid lowercase. Numerals follow the same italic, oldstyle-leaning feel, integrating naturally into running text rather than reading as rigidly tabular.
