This is an italic serif with a distinctly oldstyle, calligraphic construction and moderate stroke modulation. Letters lean consistently to the right with smooth entry and exit strokes, and the serifs are bracketed and softly tapered rather than sharply cut. Curves are generous and slightly oval, with a comfortable rhythm and open counters; the lowercase shows traditional italic forms (single-storey a, flowing f, and a looped g). Numerals follow the same slanted, book-italic logic, with rounded bowls and subtle terminals that keep texture even in running text.
It suits long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where an italic text face can carry paragraphs with a classic texture. It also works well for pull quotes, introductions, captions, and other contexts where a refined, traditional voice is desired without extreme contrast or decorative swashes.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, evoking printed books, essays, and editorial typography. Its slant and warm, humanist detailing add a sense of elegance and motion without becoming flamboyant, giving it a composed, cultivated voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a dependable, conventional italic text serif with humanist warmth and consistent color on the page. Its forms prioritize readability and steady rhythm while preserving the historical feel of book italics.
The italic is strong enough to function as a primary style rather than only for emphasis, creating a cohesive, continuous texture across mixed-case settings. Capitals are relatively restrained in flourish, pairing cleanly with the more cursive lowercase for a balanced page color.
