A slanted serif with moderate stroke modulation and gently bracketed serifs that keep the outlines smooth and continuous. The letterforms show a humanist, oldstyle influence: rounded bowls, subtly tapered stems, and an oblique stress that reads clearly in both capitals and lowercase. Terminals often finish with small wedges or soft hooks, and the italic construction is lively without becoming overly cursive. Spacing feels text-oriented, with steady rhythm and comfortable counters, supporting a cohesive page color across mixed-case settings and numerals.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and magazine features where an expressive italic serif can carry a refined voice. It also works effectively for pull quotes, intros, and cultural branding that benefits from a classic, humanist texture without looking overly formal.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, with a cultivated, editorial feel. Its italic posture and calligraphic detailing add warmth and motion, suggesting elegance and intellect rather than sharp modernity.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that balances traditional book typography with a touch of calligraphic personality, aiming for readability and a cultivated tone across continuous text.
Capitals maintain a dignified presence with crisp, restrained serifs, while the lowercase shows more handwritten character in forms like a, f, g, and y. Numerals appear lining and proportioned for text, with clear shapes and modest contrast that keeps them consistent with the letterforms.
