A conventional italic serif with moderate contrast and a smooth, calligraphic rhythm. The letters lean consistently with gently tapered strokes and bracketed serifs that soften joins. Curves show a subtle diagonal stress, and bowls/counters remain fairly open for an italic, helping maintain clarity. Ascenders are relatively tall, with compact descenders, and capitals feel sturdy and slightly wide, giving headings a composed, traditional presence.
Well suited to book and magazine typography, especially for emphasis, quotations, captions, and refined subheads where an italic voice is needed without sacrificing readability. It can also serve in literary titling and formal communications where a traditional serif italic is expected.
The overall tone is classic and literary, suggesting editorial polish rather than display exuberance. Its italic slant reads as articulate and slightly formal, with a restrained elegance suited to traditional publishing aesthetics.
The design appears intended as a dependable, readable italic companion for conventional serif typography—expressive enough to signal emphasis and tone, yet controlled for sustained reading and editorial consistency.
The lowercase shows a lively handwritten influence in terminals and entry/exit strokes, while maintaining a disciplined baseline and even spacing. Numerals are old-style in feel with varied shapes and a gentle italic flow, blending naturally with text rather than standing apart.
