A conventional serif italic with bracketed serifs and a steady, medium-contrast stroke. The forms lean with a smooth, calligraphic rhythm, showing diagonal stress in rounded letters and tapered terminals in many joins and endings. Uppercase shapes are elegant and slightly narrow, while the lowercase is more fluid with clear entry/exit strokes, compact counters, and rounded bowls. Numerals share the same italic slant and modulation, giving figures a cohesive, text-like color rather than a rigid, tabular feel.
Well-suited for editorial and book typography where an italic is needed for emphasis, citations, or foreign words. It can also work in refined subheads or pull quotes, especially when paired with a compatible roman for extended reading.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, evoking book typography and editorial refinement. Its italic voice feels expressive but controlled, suitable for emphasis without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended as a dependable text italic that preserves classical serif conventions while adding smooth, calligraphic motion for readable emphasis in continuous prose.
Curves and joins are handled with soft transitions, and the serifs stay understated, helping the face keep an even texture across longer lines. The italic construction reads as a true italic rather than a mechanically slanted roman, with distinctive, handwriting-informed lowercase shapes.
