A crisp italic serif with bracketed serifs and a gently calligraphic construction. Strokes show clear contrast with angled stress, producing tapered joins and sharp, clean terminals. Proportions are traditional, with moderate ascenders and descenders and a slightly narrow, forward-leaning stance that keeps lines moving. The lowercase features a single-storey a and g, a delicate, curled j descender, and generally open counters; numerals follow the same italic rhythm with fluid curves and restrained detailing.
Well-suited for book and magazine typography, especially for emphasis, introductions, pull quotes, and other italic-driven settings. It can also serve in refined branding and printed collateral where a classic, cultured tone is desired, and works nicely for short display lines that benefit from its italic motion.
The overall tone is polished and literary, combining formality with a lively, handwritten echo typical of classic italics. It reads as elegant and composed rather than decorative, lending a sense of tradition and seriousness to text.
Likely designed as a conventional text italic that balances clarity with traditional serif elegance. The aim appears to be a dependable italic voice for continuous reading, providing emphasis and stylistic contrast while retaining a controlled, editorial texture.
Spacing appears even and text color stays consistent in running copy, with italics that feel purposeful rather than slanted roman forms. Capitals are stately and slightly sweeping, while the lowercase maintains a smooth cadence with minimal flourishes that still add character at display sizes.
