A slanted serif with a distinctly oldstyle, humanist skeleton and gently flared stroke endings. Strokes show low-to-moderate modulation with soft, rounded transitions and bracket-like joins that keep forms smooth rather than sharp. Uppercase proportions feel traditional and slightly wide in the round letters, while the lowercase is compact and readable with a moderate x-height and generous, flowing curves. Serifs and terminals often finish with a subtle wedge or flare, and the overall rhythm is even, producing a cohesive text texture without looking rigid.
Well-suited for long-form reading in books, essays, and magazine layouts where a traditional serif texture is desired with a bit of added energy. It also works for literary headlines, pull quotes, and refined branding that benefits from a warm, classical voice.
The tone is classic and bookish, with an understated elegance that reads as editorial rather than ornamental. Its slanted posture and softened details add warmth and motion, giving text a cultivated, human presence instead of a mechanical feel.
Likely designed to deliver a timeless, text-oriented serif feel while leaning on flared terminals and a continuous slant to keep the page lively. The emphasis appears to be on comfortable readability and a humanist, calligraphic character rather than sharp contrast or geometric precision.
The italic styling is present across both cases and figures, creating a consistent forward-leaning voice. Numerals follow the same calligraphic logic as the letters, helping mixed text-and-number settings feel unified.
