A slanted serif with moderate stroke contrast and a calm, bookish rhythm. The letterforms lean consistently to the right, with bracketed serifs and softly tapered terminals that suggest a calligraphic influence rather than rigid geometry. Curves are full and open, counters read clearly, and the overall proportions feel comfortably wide with generous sidebearings. Numerals and capitals maintain the same italicized stress and smooth join behavior, producing an even texture in continuous text.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as books, magazines, and longform reading where an elegant italic is needed for emphasis, captions, or pull quotes. It can also serve refined branding, event materials, and invitations when a classic, traditional serif tone is desired.
The tone is classic and cultivated, with an editorial warmth that reads as literary and slightly formal. Its italic voice feels expressive without becoming flamboyant, making it suitable for emphasizing passages while staying grounded and traditional.
Likely designed to provide a conventional, high-utility serif italic that integrates smoothly into text settings while offering a polished, slightly calligraphic character for emphasis and display within editorial systems.
The italic construction is evident across both capitals and lowercase, with flowing entry/exit strokes and restrained detailing that keeps the texture steady. The design balances crisp serif presence with rounded inner shapes, helping longer paragraphs remain legible while still feeling styled.
