An italic serif with a steady rightward slant and a smooth, calligraphic stroke flow. Strokes show moderate contrast with rounded joins and gently tapered terminals, supported by bracketed wedge-like serifs that keep the texture continuous in text. Proportions lean traditional: capitals are slightly narrow and poised, lowercase forms are compact with clear counters, and ascenders/descenders are lively without becoming spindly. Numerals follow the same italic rhythm, with curved figures and angled stress that match the letterforms.
Well-suited to long-form reading contexts where an italic is needed for emphasis, such as book interiors, magazine/editorial layouts, pull quotes, and captions. It can also serve effectively for front-matter, epigraphs, and other literary settings where a traditional, fluent italic voice is desired.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a refined, bookish warmth rather than a sharp, modern crispness. Its flowing italics feel expressive and editorial, suitable for conveying emphasis with elegance instead of drama.
Likely designed as a conventional text italic meant to pair comfortably with a serif roman, providing a natural, readable emphasis style with traditional proportions and a restrained, classical color on the page.
In running text the face creates a cohesive, gently undulating rhythm, with consistent serif treatment and smooth curvature across rounds and diagonals. The italic structure reads as true italic rather than a simple slant, giving it a more handwritten, humanist character.
