A slanted serif with sturdy, full-bodied strokes and gently modulated contrast. Serifs are bracketed and softly tapered, with many terminals finishing in wedge-like, slightly cupped forms that keep edges from feeling abrupt. The letterforms show a calligraphic, oldstyle-leaning structure: rounded curves, smooth joins, and an overall rhythm that feels continuous rather than mechanical. Numerals share the same italic set and include lively shapes with pronounced curves and distinctive terminals, giving the figures a cohesive text-oriented color.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and long-form reading where a traditional serif voice is desired. The substantial stroke weight and italic stance also make it effective for headlines, deck lines, and pull quotes that need emphasis without departing from a classic typographic palette.
The tone is literary and traditional, suggesting established publishing and refined print work rather than minimal modern branding. Its italic energy adds motion and emphasis, while the confident weight keeps it authoritative and visible. Overall it reads as classic and cultivated, suitable for settings where warmth and credibility matter.
The design appears intended as a readable, conventional serif italic with an oldstyle sensibility—prioritizing steady paragraph color and a familiar publishing tone while adding a touch of calligraphic liveliness in curves and terminals.
The italic slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, and the design maintains even texture in paragraphs without looking overly delicate. Several letters show expressive curves and entry/exit strokes (notably in the lowercase), which adds personality while staying within conventional serif expectations.
