An italic serif with moderately bracketed serifs, a smooth writing-axis, and gently tapered strokes that create a steady, text-oriented rhythm. The letterforms show soft, rounded joins and slightly bulbous terminals, with clear modulation between thick and thin that stays controlled rather than flashy. Uppercase forms are compact and slightly slanted, while the lowercase is more cursive in movement, with a single-storey a and g and a lively, angled stress across bowls. Numerals follow the same italic construction, with open counters and curved strokes that keep the texture even in running text.
Works well for editorial typography—magazines, essays, and book interiors—where a readable italic with personality is needed. It also suits pull quotes, introductions, and refined branding applications that benefit from a classic, humanist serif voice with a touch of calligraphic motion.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, with an inviting, humanist warmth. Its slant and soft finishing details add a sense of motion and elegance without feeling delicate, giving it a cultured, editorial voice suited to long-form reading as well as display accents.
Likely designed to provide a conventional, highly legible serif italic with enough calligraphic influence to feel lively and expressive in continuous text. The balanced contrast and bracketed serifs suggest an emphasis on comfortable reading and a familiar, enduring typographic color.
The italic is assertive enough to stand on its own (not merely as a companion style), with noticeable character in the curved letters and a consistent, flowing baseline energy. Counters remain open and the spacing appears comfortable, supporting a smooth gray value in paragraphs.
