This typeface presents an italic, serifed structure with gently bracketed slab-like serifs and low stroke contrast. Curves are round and full, terminals are subtly sheared, and the joins feel slightly calligraphic, giving the letters a fluid rhythm despite the sturdy serif treatment. Proportions lean broad with generous set widths and open counters; the overall texture reads even and comfortable in running text. Numerals follow the same slanted, oldstyle-influenced logic, with smooth curves and a consistent, steady weight.
It suits editorial typography where an italic voice is needed for extended reading—books, magazines, essays, and pull quotes—while staying robust enough for packaging copy or brand systems that want a traditional, approachable character. Its broad proportions and steady color also make it effective for headings and subheads when a warm, classic italic is desired.
The tone is classic and bookish with a warm, personable slant. It feels familiar and practical rather than showy, adding a touch of humanist movement that keeps long passages from feeling rigid or mechanical.
The design appears intended as a dependable italic serif with slab-influenced serifs: sturdy enough for everyday composition, yet softened by rounded forms and gentle calligraphic cues to keep the page color inviting and readable.
Letterforms show a consistent diagonal stress and soft, rounded shaping throughout, balancing sturdiness with motion. The italic is expressive without becoming swashy, maintaining clear silhouettes and a stable baseline presence across both uppercase and lowercase.
