This serif italic has a sturdy, calligraphic build with bracketed wedge serifs and gently tapered strokes. The slant is consistent and moderately pronounced, with rounded joins and softened terminals that keep the texture lively rather than rigid. Uppercase proportions feel traditional and slightly wide-set, while the lowercase shows flowing, oldstyle-style movement with open counters and a strong diagonal stress. Figures are proportional and characterful, matching the serif rhythm and maintaining a readable, even color in text.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book interiors, and literature-adjacent design where an italic with presence is needed. It works effectively for headings, subheads, and pull quotes, and can also support classic-leaning branding or packaging when a traditional serif tone is desired.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, with a confident, slightly dramatic italic voice. It suggests traditional print craftsmanship—expressive without becoming ornate—making it feel authoritative, literary, and warmly formal.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, readable serif italic with a strong print-like personality—balancing formal structure with calligraphic motion for expressive emphasis in text settings.
In text, the italic angle and wedge serifs create a pronounced rightward momentum and a textured line, especially in combinations with diagonal letters. The design reads as robust at larger sizes and remains clear in continuous setting, where the softened shapes prevent it from feeling brittle.
