A serif italic with a broad, open stance and gently modulated strokes. The forms show a consistent rightward slant and smooth, calligraphic curvature, with bracketed serifs and tapered terminals that keep the texture lively without becoming sharp. Counters are generous and the spacing reads airy, giving the line a comfortable rhythm; round letters stay fairly wide while joins and diagonals remain clean and steady. Numerals follow the same italic movement, with clear, traditional shapes and balanced proportions.
Works well for long-form reading in books and magazines, especially where an italic is needed for emphasis, introductions, or citations. The wide, open proportions also make it a good choice for pull quotes, refined subheads, and other editorial moments that benefit from an elegant, classic italic texture.
The overall tone is literary and polished, suggesting classic publishing and cultured formality rather than contemporary minimalism. Its italic voice feels expressive and elegant, suited to emphasis that still looks disciplined and text-oriented.
Likely designed as a conventional text-serif italic with a calm, bookish presence—prioritizing smooth readability and traditional detail while keeping a slightly expansive footprint for an open, confident page color.
The sample text shows an even, readable color across long lines, with a noticeable horizontal sweep created by the wide proportions and slanted rhythm. The design favors smooth transitions and restrained detailing, producing a dependable italic that remains distinctive through its breadth and gentle modulation.
