A slanted serif with oldstyle proportions and a distinctly calligraphic construction. Strokes show moderate contrast with softly tapered joins, and the serifs are bracketed rather than abrupt, giving the outlines a fluid, drawn quality. The capitals are sturdy and relatively open, while the lowercase features generous curves, a single-storey “g,” and lively, slightly irregular rhythm typical of humanist italics. Numerals follow the same angled, text-like modeling, with rounded bowls and gentle terminals that keep figures harmonious in running text.
Well suited to long-form reading environments such as books and editorial layouts, especially for body text that benefits from an engaging, traditional texture. It also works naturally for emphasis, quotations, pull quotes, and refined informational settings where an italic with strong typographic character is desired.
The overall tone feels traditional and literary, with a warm, bookish voice. Its italic energy reads expressive but controlled, suggesting elegance without feeling overly formal or ornamental.
The design intention appears to be a conventional text serif italic that emphasizes humanist, written origins and comfortable readability. It aims to deliver a classic page color with enough movement to feel lively in continuous reading.
Spacing appears comfortable and text-oriented, supporting a steady line while preserving the characteristic italic swing in letters like a, e, f, and y. The design avoids sharp extremes, favoring smooth curvature and restrained detailing for a cohesive, readable texture.
