A slanted serif design with bracketed, slab-leaning serifs and gently tapered strokes that keep contrast restrained. The curves are round and open, with soft joins and a steady rhythm that reads smoothly in text. Proportions feel moderately wide with ample sidebearings, giving the letters an airy texture. Uppercase forms are clean and slightly formal, while the lowercase shows a subtly calligraphic construction (notably in the two-storey a and g and the long, flowing entry/exit strokes). Numerals follow the same understated, classical shaping with simple terminals and clear silhouettes.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as books, long-form articles, and magazine layouts where an italic serif voice is needed for comfortable reading. It can also support refined branding, packaging, and pull quotes where a classic, cultured tone is desirable.
The overall tone is refined and bookish, blending traditional warmth with a quiet, contemporary polish. Its slant and generous spacing give it an elegant, conversational feel without becoming decorative or fragile.
Likely intended as a versatile, readable italic serif with a traditional backbone and softened slab-like serifs, balancing personality with restraint for dependable text setting.
Curved terminals and gentle bracketing soften the slab-like serif presence, helping the font maintain a smooth line in continuous reading. The italic angle is consistent across letters and figures, and the counters remain open enough to preserve clarity at text sizes.
