A slanted serif with a calm, bookish rhythm and subtly calligraphic construction. Strokes show moderate contrast with smooth transitions and clearly bracketed, wedge-like serifs that stay crisp without feeling sharp. The italic angle is consistent and the forms are slightly condensed in feel, with rounded bowls and gently tapered terminals. Lowercase letters keep a traditional italic skeleton with a modest x-height and lively curves, while capitals remain stately and open, maintaining even spacing and a steady baseline flow across text.
Well-suited for book and long-form typography where an italic companion is needed for emphasis, quotations, or titles. It also fits editorial layouts, academic materials, and formal print applications that benefit from a conventional, refined serif italic with steady readability.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking editorial and academic contexts. Its italic voice feels expressive yet controlled—more scholarly emphasis than flamboyant display—bringing a poised, historical flavor to headings and highlighted passages.
The design appears intended as a versatile, traditional text italic that adds emphasis without disrupting the page’s texture. It prioritizes familiar serif forms and measured contrast to remain legible in continuous reading while still providing a graceful, classical character.
Numerals and capitals align with the same classic italic logic, with curved strokes and tapered endings that keep texture smooth in running text. The design balances clarity and elegance, producing a coherent typographic color at paragraph sizes while still offering enough flourish for emphasis.
