This serif italic shows a calligraphic, oldstyle construction with gently bracketed serifs and subtly tapered terminals. Strokes are moderately modulated, with rounded joins and a smooth diagonal stress that becomes especially apparent in curved letters and the figures. Proportions feel text-oriented: compact capitals with crisp finishing, a generous, tall lowercase presence, and lively rhythm from the slanted forms and varying letter widths. Numerals appear lining and serifed, matching the overall texture with consistent modulation and slightly softened corners.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where a classical serif italic is needed for emphasis, quotations, or secondary text. It can also serve effectively in literary titling and refined packaging or identity systems that benefit from a traditional, humanist voice.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, with an understated elegance that reads as bookish rather than flashy. Its italic is expressive and fluid, adding warmth and motion while maintaining a composed, editorial seriousness.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that prioritizes readability and a cultured, timeless character. Its moderated contrast, bracketed serifs, and calligraphic detailing suggest an aim for comfortable text texture with a gently expressive italic presence.
Counters are open and the spacing appears balanced for continuous reading, producing an even gray value in paragraph settings. The italic angle is noticeable but controlled, and the serif shapes stay refined rather than heavy, keeping the texture light and articulate at text sizes.
