An italic serif with a traditional, bookish construction and moderately bracketed serifs. Strokes show a gently calligraphic modulation with diagonal stress, producing smooth thick–thin transitions without appearing delicate. The slant is consistent and fairly pronounced, with rounded joins and softened terminals that keep curves flowing. Proportions are conventional and readable, with open apertures and steady spacing; capitals are broad and stable while lowercase forms are slightly narrower and more animated, giving the texture a lively, continuous rhythm.
Well-suited to book and editorial typography, especially for emphasis, introductions, captions, pull quotes, and other italic-forward applications. Its even rhythm and moderate modulation also make it a strong choice for longer passages where a consistent, comfortable texture is important.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, leaning toward editorial and literary contexts. It feels formal without stiffness, conveying authority and polish while retaining an inviting, humanist warmth typical of traditional italics.
The design appears intended as a conventional text italic that supports continuous reading while adding a refined, classical voice. It prioritizes cohesion across caps, lowercase, and figures, aiming for a dependable literary palette rather than display theatrics.
The numerals follow the same italic rhythm and serif treatment as the letters, maintaining a cohesive text color. The design favors smooth curves and restrained detail, avoiding sharp, high-contrast flicks in favor of a steady, even page texture in paragraph settings.
