A slanted serif with crisp, bracketed terminals and a calm, bookish rhythm. Strokes show clear modulation, with sturdy verticals and finer hairlines that stay controlled rather than razor-thin. The capitals feel classical and balanced with slightly flared, sculpted serifs, while the lowercase leans more calligraphic—noticeably in the a, f, g, and y—with gently tapered joins and open, readable counters. Numerals are proportional and oldstyle-leaning in feel, integrating smoothly with text and carrying the same serifed, modulated stroke logic.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, journals, and magazine features where an italic serif needs to stay clear and composed. It also works nicely for literary titling, quotations, pull quotes, and refined stationery where a traditional, elegant tone is desired.
The overall tone is cultured and literary, suggesting editorial seriousness with a touch of humanist warmth. Its italic angle and flowing lowercase add a graceful, slightly expressive voice without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, highly readable serif voice with an italic that feels genuinely drawn rather than mechanically slanted. It aims for classic proportions, controlled contrast, and a warm, editorial texture that supports continuous text while still offering expressive emphasis.
Spacing appears comfortably open in running text, helping the italic maintain clarity at larger paragraph sizes. Curves are smooth and round (not overly geometric), and many terminals finish with subtle, angled cuts that reinforce the pen-informed character.
