A slanted serif with gently bracketed, wedge-like terminals and a steady, low-contrast stroke. The forms lean with an even italic angle and show subtle calligraphic shaping in joins and curves, producing a smooth, continuous rhythm. Uppercase letters are broad and stable with soft, rounded interior curves, while the lowercase has compact, readable proportions and slightly tapered strokes. Numerals appear oldstyle, with varying heights and descenders that integrate naturally into text.
Well-suited to long-form reading and editorial layouts where a classical italic is needed for emphasis, quotations, and secondary hierarchy. It should also work nicely in magazine features and print-centric branding that wants a traditional, literary tone.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, with a calm, cultivated feel. Its italic character reads expressive without becoming decorative, conveying a refined, editorial voice suited to narrative and commentary.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that prioritizes comfortable paragraph rhythm and familiar literary cues. The restrained contrast and measured serifs suggest a focus on dependable readability with a touch of calligraphic warmth.
Round letters (like O/C/G) keep generous counters, and the italic construction is consistent across the set, reinforcing a cohesive texture in paragraphs. Serifs stay restrained and clean, avoiding sharp spikes or heavy, blocky endings, which helps maintain an even color at text sizes.
