A serif italic with gently bracketed serifs, tapered strokes, and a moderate, flowing slant. The letterforms show oldstyle influence: rounded bowls, a slightly organic baseline rhythm, and softened terminals that read more like a broad-nib gesture than a rigid geometric construction. Contrast is noticeable but not sharp, with smooth transitions through curves and joins. Spacing and proportions feel text-oriented, with comfortable counters and a consistent, readable cadence across upper- and lowercase as well as lining figures.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, magazines, and other editorial layouts where an italic voice is needed for emphasis. It also works effectively for literary titling, pull quotes, introductions, and refined branding applications that benefit from a traditional, text-serif italic character.
The overall tone is classic and cultured, evoking book typography and editorial tradition. Its italic angle and calligraphic detailing add warmth and a touch of formality, giving text an expressive, human presence without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended as a conventional text-serif italic that balances calligraphic liveliness with sustained readability. Its moderated contrast and softened detailing suggest a focus on comfortable paragraph texture and a familiar, editorial feel.
Capitals remain sturdy and clear while still participating in the italic flow, and the lowercase maintains a steady, readable texture in paragraphs. Numerals follow the same softened, serifed treatment, supporting consistent color in mixed text settings.
