A conventional italic serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and gently modulated strokes. The letterforms show a steady rightward slant and a slightly calligraphic rhythm, with tapered terminals and rounded joins that keep curves smooth and continuous. Proportions feel traditional and balanced, with compact capitals and open counters in the lowercase; numerals and punctuation follow the same angled, flowing stress for a cohesive texture in paragraph settings.
Well-suited to book and editorial typography, especially for emphasis, quotations, and secondary text where an italic is expected to remain highly readable. It can also serve effectively in magazine features, essays, and refined branding where a traditional italic serif texture is desired.
The overall tone is classic and literary, evoking editorial and book typography rather than display experimentation. Its italic voice feels articulate and human, adding warmth and emphasis without becoming overly decorative.
The design appears intended as a dependable, traditional italic companion for text typography, prioritizing continuity, legibility, and a familiar serif voice. Its moderate modulation and bracketed serifs aim to create an even reading color while retaining a subtle handwritten liveliness.
Stroke endings are clean and decisive, with consistent serif treatment across caps, lowercase, and figures. The italic construction favors readable, text-first shapes—curves remain generous, and spacing appears even, producing a stable gray value in continuous lines.
