This is a conventional italic serif with bracketed, gently flared serifs and a moderate thick–thin rhythm. The italic angle is noticeable and consistent, with softly tapered terminals and a slightly calligraphic stroke feel rather than a rigid mechanical slant. Uppercase forms stay relatively upright in structure but lean with the rest of the design, while lowercase shows more fluidity, including single-storey a and g, a descending f with a long tail, and a lively, looped j. Numerals follow the same italic construction, with oldstyle-like movement and varied widths that create a natural, text-oriented rhythm.
Well suited for body italics in books and long-form editorial layouts, as well as pull quotes, introductions, and other emphasis styles where readability needs to remain high. It can also serve for literary or academic titles, captions, and refined print pieces that benefit from a traditional italic serif voice.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, suggesting an established, trustworthy voice with a touch of elegance. Its italic character reads expressive without becoming decorative, giving text a gentle sense of motion and emphasis appropriate for formal writing and cultured branding.
The design appears intended as a dependable, text-focused italic companion with a humanist, calligraphic underpinning—aiming for comfortable reading, conventional elegance, and familiar typographic color in paragraphs.
Spacing and proportions feel designed for continuous reading: counters remain open, serifs are restrained, and stroke joins avoid sharp breaks. The design’s varied character widths and softly rounded curves contribute to an organic line texture in paragraphs.
