This is an italic serif with flowing, humanist proportions and a gently calligraphic rhythm. Strokes show a moderate diagonal stress and clean tapering into bracketed serifs, with teardrop/ball-like terminals appearing on several lowercase forms. Capitals are slanted but kept controlled and stately, while the lowercase features open counters, angled entry strokes, and a lively baseline feel. Figures are proportional and italic, matching the text color and maintaining consistent stroke behavior across the set.
Well-suited for long-form editorial settings where italic is used for emphasis, quotations, or foreign phrases, as well as for literary titling and refined subheads. It can also serve in invitations or formal collateral where a classic italic serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is cultured and traditional, with a graceful, bookish elegance. Its italic movement reads expressive without becoming decorative, suggesting a refined voice suited to nuanced emphasis and editorial typography.
The design appears intended as a conventional text companion italic: readable at paragraph sizes, harmonized across capitals, lowercase, and figures, and shaped to provide elegant emphasis without overpowering surrounding roman text.
Letterforms maintain a cohesive slant and consistent serif treatment, producing an even, readable texture in running text. The italic ‘a’ and ‘g’ are single-storey, and many lowercase letters show subtle terminal flourishes that add warmth while preserving clarity.
