A slanted serif with medium contrast and a gently calligraphic construction. Strokes show diagonal stress with rounded joins and subtly bracketed serifs that feel carved rather than sharp. Curves are generous and slightly swelling, while entry and exit strokes often taper into soft terminals. Proportions are fairly conventional with a steady rhythm in text, and the italic angle is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Well-suited to book and editorial typography where an italic is used for emphasis, titles within text, pull quotes, and captions. It should perform comfortably in continuous reading sizes and also scale up for refined headings that benefit from a classic serif italic character.
The overall tone is classic and literary, evoking traditional book typography with a friendly, human touch. Its italic voice feels expressive without becoming decorative, lending emphasis and motion while staying readable and composed.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that balances tradition and readability with a subtly calligraphic flavor. It aims to provide a familiar, dependable texture for extended composition while offering enough personality to enrich emphasis and narrative tone.
Uppercase forms maintain a dignified, slightly formal presence, while the lowercase introduces more warmth through curved shoulders and tapered strokes. Numerals follow the same slanted, serifed logic and appear designed to harmonize with running text rather than stand apart as strictly geometric figures.
