A right-leaning serif with gently bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and softly tapered terminals. Curves are broad and open, with a relaxed rhythm and slightly calligraphic shaping that keeps the texture lively rather than rigid. Uppercase forms feel stately and spacious, while the lowercase maintains clear differentiation with round counters and smooth joins; numerals follow the same humanist, softly angled character.
Well-suited to book interiors, long-form editorial typography, and magazine features where an italic serif voice is needed for emphasis or extended passages. It also works nicely for pull quotes, introductions, and captions that benefit from a refined, classical tone without heavy weight.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, projecting a calm, cultivated voice. Its italic stance and understated contrast add elegance and motion, suggesting editorial refinement rather than display flamboyance.
Likely designed to provide a conventional, readable serif italic with a gentle calligraphic underpinning, balancing elegance and clarity for sustained reading. The wide, open construction appears aimed at maintaining legibility and an even typographic color in paragraph settings.
The letterforms show consistent, flowing entry/exit strokes and rounded punctuation-like details (e.g., the Q tail and curved terminals), which contribute to a warm, bookish color on the page. The wide set and open counters help prevent the italic from feeling cramped in continuous text.
