A conventional italic serif with moderately bracketed serifs and a steady, readable rhythm. Strokes show clear calligraphic influence with gently modulated thick–thin transitions and smooth, tapered terminals rather than abrupt cuts. Counters are open and round, with a slightly generous set and relaxed spacing that helps the face breathe in text. The italic construction leans consistently, with subtle entry/exit strokes and rounded joins that keep curves fluid across both capitals and lowercase.
Well suited to long-form reading in books, magazines, and other editorial layouts where an italic is needed for emphasis, citations, or secondary hierarchy. It also works effectively for refined headlines, pull quotes, and introductory copy where a classic italic texture is desired.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, suggesting traditional print typography with a polished, editorial finish. Its slanted, gently animated forms feel personable and articulate without becoming decorative, giving text a confident, cultivated voice.
The design appears intended as a dependable text italic in a traditional serif system, balancing familiar proportions with smooth, calligraphic detailing. Its goal is to provide clear emphasis and a graceful tone while maintaining comfortable readability across paragraphs.
Capitals retain a restrained, traditional structure while showing italic shaping (notably in curved letters) that keeps headings elegant. Figures appear lining and italicized, matching the text color and movement of the letters for cohesive use in running copy.
