This is an italic serif with a steady rightward slant, bracketed serifs, and softly tapered stroke endings. The forms show moderate stroke modulation and an oblique stress, giving curves and bowls a gently calligraphic rhythm rather than a rigid, mechanical feel. Capitals are poised and slightly wide in presence, while lowercase is fluid and compact, with single-storey italic shapes (notably a and g) and clear entry/exit strokes. Numerals are oldstyle-leaning in feel, with varied silhouettes and curved terminals that harmonize with the text italics.
Well suited for editorial and long-form typography where an italic is needed for emphasis, quotations, or secondary hierarchy within a serif text system. It should also work for literary covers, pull quotes, and refined branding applications that benefit from a classic italic tone.
The overall tone reads traditional and bookish, with a refined, editorial voice that suggests established publishing conventions. Its italic movement adds elegance and a subtle sense of speed, making it feel expressive without becoming decorative or informal.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable text italic that balances classical serif structure with a mildly calligraphic flow. It aims to deliver familiar typographic authority while providing graceful emphasis in running text.
The italic construction is consistent across cases, with smooth joins and rounded transitions that keep texture even in longer lines. Counters stay relatively open for an italic, and the serifs remain crisp enough to preserve a structured baseline and clear word shapes.
