A conventional italic serif with moderate stroke modulation and clearly bracketed, wedge-like serifs. The letterforms show a steady rightward slant with smooth, calligraphic joins and tapered terminals, especially visible in the lowercase. Proportions are balanced with a normal x-height, relatively open counters, and a slightly lively rhythm from the variable character widths. Uppercase forms remain dignified and stable, while the lowercase introduces more movement through curved strokes and angled entry/exit terminals.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, editorial layouts, and magazine typography where an italic companion is needed for emphasis, quotations, or secondary voice. It can also serve effectively in formal communications and classical-themed branding when a traditional serif italic is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, with a composed, editorial feel. Its italic energy reads as polished rather than decorative, suggesting emphasis and sophistication without becoming flamboyant.
The design appears intended as a dependable, classic text italic: readable at paragraph sizes, rhythmically consistent, and visually aligned with established book-typography conventions while retaining a subtle calligraphic character.
The numerals and capitals keep a restrained, text-oriented presence, while italic details—like the angled terminals and flowing curves—add warmth and momentum in continuous reading. Spacing appears even in the sample text, supporting a consistent line color at paragraph sizes.
