This italic serif shows a moderately slanted, calligraphic construction with bracketed wedge-like serifs and tapered terminals. Strokes exhibit clear but controlled contrast, with sharper joins and pointed beak terminals on letters like a, f, and r, giving the design a crisp rhythm. Uppercase forms are traditional and slightly narrow with sturdy verticals, while the lowercase uses a compact, readable x-height and lively curves. Figures follow the same italic logic, mixing rounded bowls with angled entry and exit strokes for a consistent texture in running text.
It suits book and long-form editorial settings where an italic is needed for emphasis, quotations, or secondary voice. The consistent texture and traditional serif details also make it appropriate for magazines, essays, and academic typography that benefits from a polished, conventional italic.
The overall tone is classic and literary, combining formality with a subtle handwritten energy. Its crisp terminals and disciplined contrast evoke editorial typography and traditional book culture rather than display exuberance.
The design appears intended as a workhorse italic companion for conventional serif typography, prioritizing readable paragraph rhythm while retaining a distinctly calligraphic slant and crisp, traditional detailing.
Counters remain open and the spacing reads even in paragraphs, producing a smooth, continuous italic color. The design balances sharp detailing (notably in terminals and serifs) with stable proportions, keeping it suitable for sustained reading rather than purely decorative use.
