A right-leaning serif italic with bracketed, tapered serifs and a softly calligraphic stroke flow. The forms show moderate thick–thin modulation and an oblique axis, with open counters and gently cupped terminals that keep the texture readable in continuous text. Uppercase proportions feel traditional and measured, while the lowercase is lively, with single-storey a and g, long ascenders, and a clear, looping italic rhythm. Numerals appear as oldstyle figures with varied heights and descenders, reinforcing a text-oriented, page-like color.
Well suited to editorial typography such as book interiors, magazines, and long-form reading where an italic is needed for emphasis, citations, or pull quotes. It also works for refined headings, invitations, and literary or cultural branding where a classic serif italic voice is appropriate.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking book typography, editorial polish, and a slightly handwritten elegance. Its italic energy reads confident and expressive without becoming decorative, lending a poised, literary character.
The design appears intended as a conventional, text-driven italic that balances historical serif cues with clear readability. Its goal is to provide expressive emphasis within continuous typography while preserving an even, composed typographic texture.
The italic construction is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, giving paragraphs a smooth diagonal movement and a cohesive typographic voice. Spacing and proportions suggest it is intended to maintain an even text color while still showing crisp, sharp joins and terminals at display sizes.
