An italic serif with a calligraphic slant and softly bracketed, wedge-like serifs. Strokes show moderate contrast with gently tapered terminals and a slightly diagonal stress, producing a smooth, continuous rhythm in text. Uppercase forms are compact and sturdy with restrained curves, while the lowercase has a traditional, bookish texture; the italic construction is evident in the entry/exit strokes and angled joins. Numerals are lining and slanted, with rounded forms (notably 3, 6, 9) and clear, open counters that keep figures readable in running copy.
Well-suited for book and long-form editorial typography where an italic is needed for emphasis, titles of works, or quotations. It should also perform well in magazine features and cultured branding or packaging that benefits from a traditional serif italic with clear rhythm.
The overall tone feels classic and literary, with an editorial seriousness typical of traditional printed matter. Its italic voice reads confident and polished rather than decorative, suggesting established publishing conventions and a measured formality.
The design appears intended as a conventional text italic that complements classic serif typography, prioritizing readability and a familiar printed texture while adding gentle calligraphic movement. It aims to provide a dependable, refined italic for continuous reading and typographic hierarchy.
Letterforms maintain consistent slant and spacing, creating an even color across lines. The italic is expressive without becoming cursive, keeping shapes distinct and well-suited to extended reading while still offering emphasis.
