An italic serif with a calm, bookish texture and a gently calligraphic slant. Strokes show noticeable modulation with tapered terminals and bracketed serifs that soften joins and keep counters open. The lowercase has flowing, humanist proportions with a modest x-height and clear ascender/descender movement, producing an elegant rhythm in text. Uppercase forms are more reserved and upright in feel but still harmonize with the italic movement through angled serifs and subtly curved strokes, while figures follow the same slanted, oldstyle-like logic.
Well suited to book interiors, essays, magazines, and other longform editorial settings where an italic serif is needed for extended passages or nuanced emphasis. It also fits formal printed materials such as programs, invitations, and tasteful branding that benefits from a traditional, literary tone.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking printed literature, editorial typography, and classical correspondence. Its slant and modulation add warmth and a sense of motion, giving paragraphs a polished, slightly expressive voice without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, highly readable italic with classic serif detailing and a smooth, continuous text rhythm. Its moderate modulation and tapered forms aim to balance elegance with practicality, delivering a familiar editorial voice that remains comfortable at paragraph sizes.
In running text the spacing appears comfortable and even, with distinct lettershapes and stable counters that support continuous reading. The italic angle is assertive enough to read clearly as an italic style, yet restrained for sustained use, making it suitable as both emphasis and a primary text voice in contexts that favor a classic serif character.
