This is an italic serif with a gently calligraphic construction and moderate stroke modulation. Serifs are bracketed and slightly cupped, with softened terminals that keep the texture flowing rather than crisp or rigid. The lowercase shows a lively rhythm with subtly varied joins and curves, while capitals are more upright in stance but still carry an italic lean and tapered entry/exit strokes. Counters are open and shapes are slightly irregular in a controlled way, giving a hand-influenced, oldstyle flavor without becoming script-like.
It suits book and long-form editorial settings where an italic with character is needed for emphasis, pull quotes, or entire passages. The gentle modulation and open forms also make it a good choice for refined short texts such as invitations, programs, and cultural branding where warmth and tradition are desirable.
The overall tone feels literary and cultivated, suggesting classic editorial typography with a warm, human presence. Its motion and soft finishing details add a touch of elegance and personality, making it feel inviting rather than austere.
The design appears intended to provide a classic, readable italic with humanist energy—combining traditional serif structure with calligraphic nuances to deliver a distinctive yet familiar text voice.
The numerals follow the same italic, oldstyle sensibility, with angled stress and curved forms that integrate smoothly into text. At paragraph size the face creates a moderately dark, continuous texture with noticeable forward movement and clear word shapes.
