An italic serif with gently flared stems and bracketed, tapered serifs that feel drawn rather than constructed. Strokes stay fairly even in thickness, with subtle modulation and soft swelling into terminals, producing a smooth, continuous rhythm. Counters are open and rounded, curves are generous, and joins often finish in teardrop-like ends that add a mild calligraphic snap. The italic angle is consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals, giving the set a cohesive forward motion and an overall comfortable, text-friendly color.
Well suited to editorial design where an italic needs to carry sustained passages with clarity, such as magazines, book interiors, and long-form articles. It also works effectively for emphasis in typographic systems—pull quotes, subheads, captions, and brand messaging that benefits from a classic, cultured tone.
The tone is traditional and literary, with a quiet elegance that suggests book typography and thoughtful editorial voice. Its italic energy reads expressive but controlled—more human and warm than strict, without becoming decorative or theatrical.
The design appears intended as a readable, versatile italic that bridges text utility with a gently calligraphic surface. By keeping contrast modest and terminals softly flared, it aims to deliver an inviting, traditional impression while maintaining consistent texture in continuous reading.
Uppercase forms feel sturdy and slightly wide in stance, while the lowercase carries the personality: flowing shoulders, softly pointed terminals, and a lively baseline rhythm. Numerals match the italic slant and share the same tapered finishing, helping mixed text and figures feel integrated.
