A slanted serif with a calligraphic, oldstyle construction and softly bracketed serifs. Strokes show moderate modulation with rounded terminals and gently swelling joins, giving the outlines a sculpted, inked feel rather than a rigid, mechanical one. The forms are relatively open with smooth curves, and the italic rhythm is steady and readable across capitals, lowercase, and figures. Numerals follow the same angled, flowing logic, with clear differentiation and comfortable spacing for continuous text.
Well suited to editorial typography, book and magazine setting, and situations where an italic voice is needed for emphasis or quotations. It can also serve for traditional invitations or formal materials where a classic, flowing serif italic adds sophistication without becoming overly decorative.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, with a warm, human presence typical of traditional italic serifs. It feels refined and slightly formal, yet approachable, suggesting editorial or literary contexts rather than overt display styling.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, readable italic serif with a humanist, ink-driven character. Its moderate contrast, bracketed serifs, and smooth cursive rhythm aim to deliver a familiar literary texture while maintaining clarity in longer passages.
Capitals carry restrained ornament and a stable baseline presence, while the lowercase shows more movement and cursive influence, creating an energetic line texture in paragraphs. The design balances elegance with practicality, keeping counters and apertures sufficiently open for comfortable reading at moderate sizes.
