A slanted serif with an oldstyle structure and gently flared, bracketed terminals that soften the ends of strokes. Strokes show modest modulation and a smooth, continuous rhythm, with rounded joins and tapered diagonals that feel drawn rather than engineered. The capitals are proportioned with generous curves (notably the round letters) and crisp, slightly beaked serifs, while the lowercase keeps a steady, readable texture with open counters and a compact, flowing italic ductus. Numerals follow the same calligraphic slant and terminal treatment, giving them a cohesive, text-friendly presence.
Well-suited for editorial layouts, book typography, and magazine features where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, pull quotes, or extended passages. The refined, traditional character also fits branding and packaging that aims for heritage, craft, or literary associations.
The overall tone is bookish and cultivated, evoking traditional printing and editorial typography. Its italic slant and flared details add a personable, handwritten warmth while staying formal enough for polished, high-end communication.
This design appears intended to deliver a dependable, classical italic with subtle calligraphic flair—prioritizing comfortable reading rhythm and a graceful, humanist texture while retaining enough structure for professional editorial use.
The italic construction is consistent across cases, producing a continuous rightward motion in words and lines. Letterforms lean on classical proportions rather than sharp geometric extremes, which helps maintain an even color in paragraphs and keeps punctuation and figures from feeling out of place.
