A slanted serif with bracketed, gently tapered serifs and a clear calligraphic axis. Strokes show moderate modulation, with smooth curves and crisp terminals that keep counters open and letterforms readable. Proportions feel conventional and text-oriented, with balanced spacing and a steady rhythm across upper- and lowercase. Figures align with the same italicized flow, maintaining consistent weight and contrast in running text.
Well-suited for editorial typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, leads, or captions. It should perform comfortably in longer passages in print or on-screen, and it can also serve as a refined accent in branding or invitations when used at larger sizes.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, suggesting bookish refinement rather than overt display. Its italic energy adds a sense of motion and emphasis, while the restrained contrast and familiar proportions keep it grounded and trustworthy.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic: expressive enough to differentiate from roman, yet restrained to preserve readability and typographic consistency in continuous setting.
The slant is consistent across the set, and the serif shaping remains disciplined, avoiding exaggerated swashes. Uppercase forms read as formal and composed, while the lowercase carries the primary texture for paragraphs, producing a smooth, continuous line in the sample text.
