A conventional italic serif with broad proportions, softly bracketed serifs, and moderate stroke modulation. The letterforms show a steady rightward slant and a calligraphic rhythm, with gently tapered terminals and curved joins that keep counters open. Curves are rounded rather than sharp, and the overall texture reads smooth and even at text sizes, with slightly assertive capitals and a sturdier, more flowing lowercase.
Well-suited for editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book interiors where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or a continuous italic setting. It also works for formal branding elements—titles, pull quotes, and refined packaging—where a classic serif italic can add sophistication without sacrificing readability.
The font conveys a traditional, bookish tone with a touch of warmth from its calligraphic shaping. It feels established and trustworthy, leaning more literary and editorial than decorative, while the italic energy adds motion and emphasis without becoming flamboyant.
The design appears intended as a versatile, conventional italic companion for extended reading and editorial systems, prioritizing familiar serif forms, steady rhythm, and a balanced contrast profile. Its wide stance and soft detailing suggest an aim for comfortable legibility and a composed, traditional presence across text and display sizes.
Capitals appear relatively wide with stable, classical proportions, while the lowercase shows more movement and varied entry/exit strokes. Numerals follow the same italic, oldstyle-leaning flow, maintaining consistent weight and contrast with the letters for comfortable inline use.
