A right-leaning slab serif with sturdy, bracketed serifs and gently tapered strokes that keep contrast modest. The letterforms show a calligraphic, slightly sheared construction: rounded bowls are subtly asymmetric, joins feel penned rather than mechanical, and terminals often end in flat slabs that soften into the stem with small brackets. Proportions are moderate with a comfortable x-height, open counters, and a steady rhythm that reads smoothly in words; figures follow the same italicized, old-style-leaning movement with curved forms and angled stress.
Well suited to editorial typography, book interiors, long-form reading, and pull quotes where an italic voice is needed without becoming overly decorative. It can also work for literary or historical titling, subheads, and packaging or branding that benefits from a classic, trustworthy tone.
The overall tone is literary and composed, pairing the authority of a slab serif with an inviting, humanist slant. It feels traditional and editorial—more like a well-made book italic than a high-fashion display face—bringing a warm, slightly old-world voice to text.
Likely designed to provide an italic companion with strong slab-serif structure while retaining a handwritten, humanist motion. The goal appears to be a readable, characterful text italic that holds up in paragraphs and delivers a confident, traditional voice in print-oriented layouts.
In running text the slant is consistent and the texture remains even, with distinctive slab feet and soft, bracketed transitions that prevent the face from feeling rigid. Uppercase has a dignified, classical presence, while lowercase maintains an easy flow suited to longer passages.
