This serif italic shows a traditional, calligraphic construction with a steady rightward slant and moderate stroke modulation. Serifs are bracketed and neatly tapered, with crisp wedge-like terminals on many strokes. Capitals feel slightly condensed and upright in structure while still participating in the italic angle, and the lowercase keeps an even, readable rhythm with smooth joins and rounded counters. Numerals follow the same italic momentum, with open curves and balanced proportions that sit comfortably alongside text.
Well-suited for extended reading in books and editorial layouts, especially for emphasis, quotations, and secondary typographic hierarchy. It can also support formal communications—such as invitations or announcements—where a traditional italic serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is classic and literary, evoking editorial and book typography rather than display theatrics. Its slanted, subtly energetic rhythm adds elegance and forward motion while remaining composed and conventional.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that prioritizes readability and typographic familiarity while adding a measured, calligraphic liveliness. Its balanced contrast and restrained detailing suggest a role as a dependable companion to a roman text face in multi-level typography.
Curves and diagonals are handled cleanly, giving the face a polished texture at text sizes. The italic forms appear purpose-drawn (not merely slanted), with consistent modulation and coherent serif behavior across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
