This is a right-leaning serif italic with bracketed serifs and moderately modulated strokes. Curves are smooth and slightly calligraphic, with tapered terminals on many lowercase forms and a consistent diagonal stress that reads clearly in longer passages. Capitals are comparatively upright and stately but still slanted, with crisp, conventional proportions and controlled flare at the ends. The lowercase shows compact, bookish shapes and a modest rhythm, while the figures follow the same italic slant and maintain clear, familiar silhouettes.
It works well for book and long-form editorial typography where an italic is needed for emphasis, titles, or citations. The restrained calligraphic flavor also suits magazines, academic publishing, and formal communication that benefits from a traditional serif italic voice.
The overall tone is classic and literary, suggesting traditional publishing and established institutions. Its italic voice feels expressive without becoming flamboyant, lending a cultured, editorial character that suits emphasis and quotation settings.
The design appears intended as a dependable, classic italic companion for conventional serif typography, prioritizing readability and a steady text rhythm while adding a subtle calligraphic lift for emphasis.
In text, the slant and tapered finishes create a lively horizontal flow, while the bracketed serifs keep the texture anchored and orderly. The design balances smooth curves with sharp joins, giving it a polished, conventional appearance.
