A slanted serif with softly bracketed serifs and a moderate, gently modulated stroke. The forms show a calligraphic influence: rounded joins, subtly tapered terminals, and an uneven, humanist rhythm that keeps the texture lively rather than rigid. Uppercase proportions feel traditional and slightly compact, while lowercase letters are open and readable with smooth curves and modest extenders. Numerals share the same oblique stance and soft, serifed finishing, aligning visually with continuous text.
Well suited to long-form reading in books, magazines, and editorial layouts where an italic voice is needed for emphasis or continuous passages. It also works for literary titling, pull quotes, and refined packaging or stationery where a traditional serif tone is desired.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, with a warm, literary character that suggests printed text and editorial tradition. Its slant and calligraphic shaping add a touch of motion and elegance, leaning more refined than playful.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional text-serif reading experience with an italic that feels authored and human, balancing tradition with a gently expressive, calligraphic slant for comfortable, continuous typography.
The italic angle is consistent across cases, producing a cohesive forward rhythm. Serifs remain relatively restrained and rounded, helping the font maintain an even page color in paragraphs without looking brittle or overly sharp.
