An italic serif with flowing, calligraphic construction and bracketed serifs. Strokes show a clear diagonal stress with moderate thick–thin modulation and clean, tapered terminals. Letterforms are relatively open with generous spacing and a slightly wide footprint, while ascenders and capitals stand tall with a smooth, consistent slant. Curves are well-rounded and the overall rhythm reads even and controlled in continuous text.
Well-suited to book and magazine typography, especially for continuous reading, intros, pull quotes, and other editorial emphasis. It can also serve formal applications such as invitations or programs where a classic italic voice is desired.
The tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking book typography and editorial sophistication. Its italics feel expressive without becoming flamboyant, balancing elegance with steady readability for long-form passages.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic: legible and steady for paragraphs, yet lively enough to provide emphasis and tonal contrast within a larger typographic system.
The numeral set follows the same italic motion and contrast, with old-style energy in the curves and terminals that keeps figures visually aligned with text. Uppercase forms appear dignified and slightly expansive, supporting prominent titling without losing the italic character.
