A conventional serif italic with bracketed serifs and softly wedge-shaped terminals, showing an oblique axis and moderate stroke modulation. The forms are compact and upright-to-gently slanted rather than highly cursive, with rounded joins and a smooth, continuous rhythm across text. Bowls and counters stay relatively open, while diagonals and entry/exit strokes taper cleanly, giving the letters a polished, bookish texture. Numerals follow the same italicized, serifed construction and sit comfortably alongside the lowercase in tone and weight.
Well-suited for extended reading in books and long-form editorial layouts, especially where an italic companion is needed for emphasis, citations, and captions. It also fits magazine features, literary branding, and academic or cultural communications that benefit from a traditional serif italic with clear, steady rhythm.
The overall tone feels traditional and literary, with a refined, editorial voice that suggests established print typography. Its italic is expressive without becoming decorative, lending a warm, cultivated emphasis suited to quotes, titles, and highlighted passages.
The design appears intended as a dependable, conventional text serif italic: legible and even in paragraph settings, while still offering enough calligraphic modulation and taper to signal emphasis and hierarchy in editorial typography.
Lowercase shapes read as firmly typographic (not script-like), and the slant is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures. The serif treatment stays understated and well-integrated, supporting even spacing and a steady text color at typical reading sizes.
