A slanted serif with moderate stroke modulation and a distinctly calligraphic, humanist skeleton. Serifs are small and bracketed, with softened joins that keep counters open and rhythm smooth. Curves are round and slightly expanding, while diagonals and terminals carry a gentle, pen-like taper that gives the texture movement without becoming sharp or high-contrast. Numerals follow the same oldstyle-leaning tone, pairing sturdy stems with rounded bowls and modest, angled finishing strokes.
Well suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and editorial layouts where an italic text face is desired for tone or hierarchy. It also works effectively for pull quotes, introductions, captions, and other secondary text that benefits from a classic, slightly expressive serif presence.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, with a measured elegance that feels familiar rather than ornamental. Its italic slant and flowing terminals add warmth and a lightly rhetorical voice, suitable for expressive reading without appearing flashy.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable serif italic with a humanist, oldstyle flavor—prioritizing comfortable paragraph texture while adding subtle calligraphic character for emphasis and editorial voice.
Across both capitals and lowercase, the design maintains consistent slant and spacing, producing an even line color in paragraphs. The italic forms are clearly constructed (not overly cursive), balancing legibility with a gentle, handwritten cadence.
