A classic italic text serif with moderate stroke contrast and crisp, bracketed serifs. The letterforms show a steady rightward slant, with tapered terminals and a flowing, calligraphic rhythm that stays disciplined rather than flamboyant. Proportions feel traditional, with moderately narrow capitals, a normal x-height, and clear differentiation between rounds and straights. Numerals and capitals share the same italic stress, giving the set a consistent, continuous texture in running text.
This font is well suited to book and long-form editorial settings where an italic is needed for emphasis, titles, and quotations. It can also support formal identities and printed materials—programs, invitations, or institutional communications—where a traditional serif italic texture is desired.
The overall tone is literary and formal, evoking printed books, editorial typography, and scholarly writing. Its italic voice reads as poised and established—more elegant than expressive—suited to emphasis and quotation without drawing undue attention to itself.
The design appears intended as a conventional, highly readable text italic that pairs comfortably with a standard serif family. Its measured contrast, controlled detailing, and consistent slant suggest a focus on dependable, classic typography for continuous reading and editorial composition.
Curves are smooth and slightly tensioned, with counters kept open for text use. The spacing and slant create a cohesive line when set in paragraphs, and the italic construction is integral to the design rather than a simple slanting of upright forms.
