A slanted serif with bracketed serifs, tapered terminals, and a clear, print-oriented construction. Strokes show moderate modulation, with smooth transitions into serifs and a slightly calligraphic flow that keeps the rhythm lively without becoming ornate. Uppercase forms feel sturdy and traditional, while the lowercase is more fluid and gently cursive in movement, with compact joins and angled entry/exit strokes. Numerals follow the same italic, serifed logic, maintaining an even color and consistent spacing across the set.
Well-suited to editorial typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or secondary text in books and magazines. It can also serve effectively in literary titling, pull quotes, and formal communications where a classic serif italic is expected and readability must remain strong.
The overall tone is classic and literary, suggesting editorial polish and old-style formality. Its italic posture reads confident and expressive, adding warmth and emphasis while remaining conservative enough for conventional typographic settings.
Likely designed as a conventional serif italic intended to pair with a roman companion in text settings, providing a clear hierarchy and expressive emphasis. The goal appears to be a balanced blend of tradition and legibility, with enough modulation and serif detail to feel authoritative without distracting in continuous reading.
The italic angle is pronounced but controlled, and the serifs stay sharp and neatly bracketed rather than heavy. Curved letters (like C, G, and S) show disciplined contrast and smooth bowls, supporting a clean reading line in text while still offering a recognizable, traditional character.
