An italic serif with a steady, medium-weight color and moderate contrast between thick and thin strokes. The letterforms lean noticeably to the right and follow a calligraphic rhythm, with smooth, bracketed serifs and tapered terminals that keep the texture lively without feeling sharp. Proportions are traditional and text-oriented, with round forms kept open and counters clear; the lowercase shows a gently varied, handwritten-like modulation while maintaining consistent spacing and line flow.
Well suited for book and magazine typography where an italic companion is needed for emphasis, quotations, captions, and introductory text. It can also work for refined subheads and pull quotes, especially where a traditional, readable italic texture is preferred over a more flamboyant display script.
The overall tone is classical and cultivated, suggesting bookish refinement and a formal, editorial voice. Its italic energy reads expressive rather than decorative, giving it a confident, slightly traditional elegance suited to established publishing aesthetics.
Likely designed as a conventional text italic that prioritizes readability and a familiar editorial cadence, providing a graceful emphasis style that harmonizes with classic serif page typography.
The numerals follow the same italic slant and serif treatment, integrating cleanly with running text. Capitals appear restrained and balanced, while lowercase shapes carry most of the movement, producing a smooth, continuous reading rhythm in paragraphs.
