This serif italic has a calligraphic, oldstyle construction with bracketed serifs and gently tapered strokes. The italic angle is moderate, producing a smooth rightward flow without extreme slant. Uppercase forms are slightly compact with softly flared terminals, while lowercase shows a steady rhythm, open counters, and rounded joins that keep texture even in longer lines. Numerals follow the same slanted, traditional treatment, with curving strokes and visible entry/exit modulation that feels consistent across the set.
It is well suited to extended reading in books and editorial layouts where an italic needs to remain comfortable and steady. It also performs well for pull quotes, introductions, and other emphasis settings that benefit from a refined, traditional texture.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, with a cultivated, humanist warmth rather than a sharp or mechanical feel. Its motion and soft terminals lend a courteous, editorial voice suited to traditional typography and expressive reading contexts.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with a humanist, calligraphic underpinning—aiming for readability and a graceful page color while still providing a distinctly italic voice.
Stroke modulation is noticeable but not high-contrast, and the serifs read as smoothly integrated rather than abrupt. The design emphasizes continuous movement and a slightly handwritten finish, helping words knit together into an elegant, cohesive line.
