A slanted serif with sturdy, rounded letterforms and clearly bracketed serifs. Strokes show a moderate thick–thin pattern with diagonal stress, and many joins are softly modeled, giving the contours a slightly calligraphic feel. The italics are fairly upright and compact, with short extenders and a steady rhythm that reads smoothly in text. Details like ball or teardrop terminals (notably in the lowercase) and a curled, looped “w” add distinctive texture without breaking overall consistency.
Well-suited to editorial settings such as magazines, long-form articles, and book typography where an italic with strong presence is needed for emphasis. It can also support refined branding, invitations, and packaging that benefit from a classic serif voice with a touch of warmth.
The tone is traditional and literary, with an editorial polish that suggests established print typography. Its softened modeling and rounded terminals keep it from feeling overly sharp or austere, adding a subtly inviting, human touch.
The design appears intended to provide a robust, readable italic companion for conventional serif typography, balancing traditional structure with gently calligraphic detailing to maintain character at both display and text sizes.
Uppercase forms are solid and stable, while the lowercase carries more of the personality through curved entry/exit strokes and lively terminals. Figures appear oldstyle-leaning in feel due to the italic slant and varying widths, integrating naturally with running text.
