An italic serif with gently flared stroke endings and subtly bracketed serifs. Strokes show a moderate contrast with a clear diagonal stress, and curves are smooth and generously rounded. The letterforms lean decisively, with slightly tapered joins and wedge-like terminals that keep counters open and the overall texture even. Proportions feel balanced rather than condensed, with a steady rhythm across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
It performs well in editorial and long-form reading contexts where an italic with personality is needed, such as book typography, magazine features, and essay layouts. The stronger slant and flared terminals also make it effective for emphasis, pull quotes, and refined titling when a classic serif italic is desired.
The font carries a traditional, bookish tone with a measured elegance. Its slanted, calligraphic construction reads personable and fluid without becoming decorative, suggesting a confident, cultivated voice suited to narrative and commentary.
The design appears intended to provide a readable, traditional italic with a touch of calligraphic warmth, using flared terminals and moderate contrast to maintain clarity while adding character in text and display applications.
Capitals present broad, stable forms with clean entry and exit strokes, while the lowercase maintains legibility through open bowls and restrained detailing. Numerals appear old-style in spirit, with curving forms that harmonize with the italic movement and serif shaping, supporting continuous text settings.
