A right-leaning serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a subtly calligraphic construction. Strokes show moderate modulation with softened joins and a gently slanted stress, giving the curves a lively, handwritten rhythm while staying firmly in a text-serif structure. Proportions feel generous with open counters and clear letter differentiation; capitals are sturdy and slightly rounded in their transitions, while the lowercase carries an energetic, flowing italic movement. Numerals appear oldstyle with varied heights and descenders, matching the text tone and maintaining consistent color in running settings.
Well-suited to extended reading in books and long-form editorial layouts, as well as magazines and cultured brand communications that benefit from a traditional serif voice. The italic structure makes it especially effective for emphasis, quotations, captions, and introductory copy where a refined but readable texture is needed.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, with a confident, cultivated feel. Its italic presence reads expressive rather than ornamental—more like a traditional editorial italic used for emphasis—conveying warmth, authority, and a slightly historic sensibility.
This font appears designed as a conventional text serif with an expressive italic stance, aiming to balance classical typographic familiarity with a touch of calligraphic motion. The moderated contrast, open forms, and oldstyle-style numerals suggest an emphasis on comfortable reading and editorial versatility rather than display eccentricity.
The design keeps a steady typographic color despite the slant, with well-spaced forms and smooth stroke endings that avoid sharp, brittle terminals. Round letters (like o/c/e) retain open apertures and moderate contrast, supporting clarity at text sizes while preserving a distinct italic character.
