This typeface is an italic serif with sturdy, slab-like serifs and softly bracketed joins that keep the letterforms from feeling overly mechanical. Strokes show gentle modulation and a consistent rightward slant, with rounded curves and tapered intersections that suggest a calligraphic construction. Proportions are moderate and readable, with open counters and a steady rhythm; the lowercase features familiar oldstyle traits such as a single-storey a and a double-storey g. Numerals sit comfortably with the text, sharing the same italic energy and solid serif footing.
It fits well in book and long-form editorial settings where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, and titles without breaking the text’s overall texture. The robust serifs and open shapes also make it appropriate for magazine features, essays, and pull quotes that want a classic, trustworthy feel.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with an editorial polish that feels suited to thoughtful reading rather than loud display. Its italic movement adds a sense of pace and elegance while the firm serifs keep it grounded and authoritative.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional italic with a sturdy, slab-inflected foundation—combining the warmth of oldstyle italics with a more anchored, print-forward presence. It aims for readable elegance and a consistent text color suitable for continuous reading and editorial hierarchy.
Capitals have a traditional, inscriptional presence with broad curves (notably in C, G, and O) and confident entry/exit strokes. The italic angle is noticeable but controlled, maintaining clarity in both the grid and paragraph samples.
