A slanted serif with softly bracketed serifs and a lively, slightly calligraphic stroke flow. Curves are full and rounded, terminals tend toward tapered, brush-like endings, and joins show gentle modulation that keeps the texture active without becoming sharp. Proportions feel traditional with moderate ascenders and descenders, and the overall rhythm reads smooth and continuous in text. Numerals and capitals follow the same italicized, bookish construction, with open counters and balanced spacing that supports long-form setting.
Well suited for editorial typography and book composition where an italic voice is needed for emphasis—quotes, lead-ins, subheads, and in-text highlights. It can also work for refined branding or packaging that benefits from a classic serif italic with a friendly, traditional presence.
The overall tone is classic and literary, evoking traditional book typography with a warm, human touch. Its italic stance adds momentum and emphasis, giving it an elegant, editorial feel rather than a rigid or geometric one.
The design appears intended as a conventional text companion italic: readable and steady in paragraphs, but with enough calligraphic nuance in the terminals and serifing to feel crafted and expressive when used for emphasis.
The slant is consistent across cases, and the detailing favors softness over crispness—rounded bowls, gentle beaks, and subtly cupped serifs help maintain a comfortable reading color. In larger sizes the tapered terminals become more expressive, while at text sizes the design settles into an even, familiar serif texture.
