This is an italic serif with softly bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a gently calligraphic stroke flow. Strokes show moderate contrast with tapered terminals and smooth joins, producing an even, readable rhythm rather than sharp, high-contrast sparkle. The letterforms lean consistently with subtly varied widths, and counters stay open, especially in round letters, helping text remain clear at larger and moderate sizes. Numerals follow the same italic, oldstyle-inspired construction, with curved forms and angled stress that match the text color of the alphabet.
Well-suited for book and long-form editorial settings where an italic needs to stay readable and well-textured, such as emphasis within body copy or pull quotes. It also works effectively for refined titles and subtitles in magazines, programs, and formal printed materials where a classic serif italic is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, with an understated elegance typical of book and editorial typography. Its italic voice feels expressive without becoming decorative, lending a composed, cultured character to headings and emphasis.
The design appears intended as a conventional, book-oriented italic that balances tradition with clarity, providing a graceful companion for text while preserving consistent color and spacing in paragraph settings.
Capitals are stately and slightly narrower in feel due to the slant, while lowercase forms show lively details such as curved entry strokes and tapered finishing strokes. The design maintains consistent spacing and a cohesive slanted axis across letters and figures, giving paragraphs a smooth, continuous texture.
