A traditional italic serif with moderately braced, bracketed serifs and a clear calligraphic influence. Strokes show noticeable but not extreme contrast, with tapered terminals and a consistent rightward slant. The letterforms feel compact and controlled, with rounded bowls, open counters, and a slightly sheared stress that helps create a flowing horizontal rhythm in text. Numerals appear oldstyle, mixing ascenders and descenders for a more bookish texture.
Well-suited for book and editorial settings where an italic is needed for emphasis, quotations, titles, and foreign words. It should also work in formal correspondence and academic layouts where a classic serif italic voice is preferred.
The overall tone is classical and literary, suggesting editorial seriousness and a cultured, print-oriented voice. Its italic character feels expressive without becoming ornamental, lending a refined emphasis suited to long-form typography.
The design appears intended as a conventional, text-oriented serif italic that prioritizes readable rhythm and familiar book typographic cues, while adding subtle calligraphic movement for expressive emphasis.
The lowercase shows lively entry and exit strokes and a rhythmic baseline movement, while capitals remain sturdy and conventional for an italic companion. Spacing reads even in the sample paragraph, producing a smooth, continuous texture that stays legible at text sizes.
