An italic serif with moderate contrast and a smooth, slightly calligraphic stroke flow. Serifs are bracketed and tend toward wedge-like terminals, giving joins and endings a crisp but not sharp finish. The capitals are generously proportioned with rounded curves (notably in C, G, O, Q) and a forward slant that stays even across the set. Lowercase shows open bowls and clear apertures, with a gently modulated rhythm and subtly varied widths that keep text color lively without becoming noisy.
It works well for continuous reading in print-like layouts, especially where italics are needed for emphasis, quotations, captions, or introductory matter. The moderate contrast and open shapes help maintain clarity at typical text sizes while providing a distinct, elegant texture in paragraphs.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, with an energetic italic voice that feels literary rather than decorative. It suggests established print culture—confident, readable, and slightly expressive—suited to conveying nuance and emphasis.
The design intent appears to be a conventional text serif italic that balances tradition with a touch of handwritten energy. Its proportions and controlled contrast prioritize comfortable reading, while the expressive terminals and wedge serifs provide a recognizable editorial character.
Figures appear oldstyle in feel, with varied heights and a more text-oriented rhythm than lining numerals. The italic construction is consistent across letters and numbers, and the set maintains a steady baseline with occasional calligraphic quirks in terminals that add warmth in running text.
