This is an italic serif with sturdy, slab-leaning, bracketed serifs and a gently calligraphic construction. Strokes are largely even with subtle modulation, and curves have a soft, slightly organic tension rather than geometric precision. The letterforms show a lively rhythm with angled joins and tapered entries, giving the face a handwritten energy while keeping a solid, print-oriented structure. Proportions feel classical and readable, with round counters, open apertures, and a consistent forward slant across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and magazine typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis without losing density or presence. It can also serve effectively in refined branding, packaging, and event materials where a traditional serif italic conveys craft and credibility.
The overall tone is literary and editorial, balancing authority with approachability. It reads as traditional and cultured, yet not overly formal, thanks to the warm, humanist italic movement and rounded shaping.
The design appears intended as a dependable italic companion with a robust serif footprint—combining slab-like firmness with a humanist, calligraphic slant to stay readable while adding personality in continuous text.
Capitals maintain crisp, stable silhouettes despite the slant, while lowercase forms keep a flowing baseline rhythm that helps text feel continuous. Numerals follow the same italic logic and serif treatment, integrating smoothly into running copy rather than standing apart as purely utilitarian figures.
