A slanted serif with softly bracketed serifs and gently tapered strokes, showing moderate modulation that reads clearly without becoming brittle. The letterforms lean with a consistent italic angle and a smooth, calligraphic rhythm, with rounded joins and subtly swelling curves in bowls and arches. Proportions feel text-oriented rather than display-driven, and the numerals follow the same humanist, slightly oldstyle logic with varied shapes and calm spacing.
Well suited to editorial typography such as books, magazines, and long-form reading where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, citations, or side notes. It can also serve for refined branding accents—taglines, pull quotes, or headings—where a traditional serif italic texture is desired.
The overall tone is bookish and traditional, with a warm, cultivated voice. Its italic styling suggests emphasis and motion while staying restrained, making it feel polished and trustworthy rather than flashy.
Designed to provide a conventional, readable serif italic with humanist softness and a steady text color. The intention appears to balance classic literary character with practical clarity in continuous reading.
The texture in paragraph settings looks even and coherent, with a slightly lively baseline flow typical of italics. Serifs remain understated and rounded, helping the face maintain readability at text sizes while still presenting a distinctive, classic personality.
