A gently slanted serif with an oldstyle, calligraphy-informed construction and softly bracketed serifs. Strokes show modest contrast with tapered terminals and a smooth, continuous rhythm, giving the letterforms a supple texture rather than a rigid, mechanical feel. Proportions are comfortable and text-oriented, with rounded bowls, open counters, and a slightly lively baseline created by the italic entry/exit strokes. Numerals follow the same mannered, bookish tone, with curved forms and delicate finishing details.
Well suited to book typography, editorial layouts, and magazine features where an italic serif voice is desired without sharp, high-contrast drama. It can also support refined invitations, cultural branding, and pull quotes or introductions that benefit from a traditional, fluent tone.
The font conveys a classic, literary elegance—more human and conversational than formal. Its italic motion and softened serifs suggest traditional print craftsmanship, lending a warm, educated tone appropriate for long-form reading and cultured branding.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that prioritizes comfortable reading rhythm and a classical, humanist flavor. Its details aim to evoke familiar book typography while keeping the forms light, graceful, and continuous in running text.
The italic angle is consistent across capitals and lowercase, and many characters rely on gently swelling curves and tapered joins to maintain continuity in text. Capitals stay restrained and booklike rather than monumental, helping mixed-case settings feel cohesive and even.
