A traditional serif italic with softly bracketed serifs and a gently calligraphic stroke. The forms lean consistently with smooth entry/exit strokes and modest, controlled contrast, giving the letters a steady rhythm rather than sharp, high-contrast sparkle. Counters are open and the lowercase shows oldstyle tendencies with rounded joins and subtly tapered terminals; the overall texture is even and readable in paragraph settings. Numerals follow the same italic logic with curved, slightly tapered strokes and a harmonious baseline presence.
Well-suited for editorial typography where an italic voice is needed—book and magazine text, pull quotes, introductions, captions, and other emphasis roles within a serif text system. It also works for refined branding lines or titles where a classic, literary feel is desired without high-contrast delicacy.
The font conveys a bookish, cultured tone—polished and familiar, with a human touch that feels literary rather than corporate. Its italic character reads as expressive but restrained, suggesting emphasis and elegance without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended as a dependable, conventional serif italic with a warm, humanist cadence—optimized for continuous reading and clear emphasis rather than display-driven flair.
Capitals are relatively compact and stable, with clear serif cues and gentle curves that prevent the italic slant from feeling aggressive. The spacing and proportions produce a cohesive, continuous color in text, and the italic angle is strong enough for emphasis while remaining comfortable for longer excerpts.
