A slanted serif with an oldstyle construction and gently bracketed serifs, showing moderate stroke contrast and a smooth, continuous rhythm. Curves are full and open, with softly tapered terminals and a noticeable calligraphic influence in the way strokes transition through joins. Capitals are relatively upright in structure but share the italic angle, while the lowercase is more fluid, with compact bowls and lively ascenders/descenders. Numerals follow the same angled, serifed logic, maintaining consistent color and spacing in text.
Well suited for book and editorial settings where an italic is needed for emphasis, quotations, or introductions, and for longer passages that benefit from a smooth, traditional serif texture. It can also serve in academic or institutional materials where a classic, readable italic tone is preferred.
The overall tone feels traditional and cultivated, evoking printed literature and editorial typography rather than overt display styling. Its italic voice reads expressive but controlled, lending a sense of elegance and narrative warmth while staying suitably formal.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with a humanist, calligraphic underpinning—aiming for comfortable readability, a cohesive page color, and a refined, classic presence in continuous prose.
The letterforms favor rounded, humanist proportions and a steady baseline flow, producing a coherent texture in continuous reading. The italic angle is pronounced enough to communicate emphasis clearly, yet the shapes remain crisp and conventional in their serif treatment.
