A slender italic serif with flowing, calligraphic construction and bracketed wedge serifs. Strokes show clear diagonal stress and a consistent rightward slant, with smooth transitions into terminals and a restrained contrast that keeps counters open. Proportions are compact and vertical stems are relatively tall, while capitals remain graceful rather than heavy, giving the overall texture an even, lightly articulated rhythm in text.
Well suited to long-form reading environments such as books, magazines, and editorial layouts where an italic voice is needed for emphasis. It also works effectively for refined titling, pull quotes, and formal materials like programs or invitations where a classic serif italic tone is appropriate.
The design reads as traditional and literary, with an understated elegance typical of editorial italics. Its calm cadence and poised details suggest formality and refinement without feeling ornate.
Likely designed as a conventional text italic that prioritizes readability and smooth typographic color while delivering a classic, cultured character. The forms balance calligraphic movement with disciplined serif structure for dependable use in continuous composition.
Ascenders and descenders are prominent, contributing to a lively line silhouette. Numerals follow the italic motion and appear text-oriented, pairing well with the letterforms for continuous reading settings.
