This is a right-leaning serif italic with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a clear calligraphic construction. Strokes show a moderate thick–thin relationship and diagonal stress, with tapered terminals and smooth joining into the serifs. Proportions feel bookish and compact, with a steady baseline rhythm and a normal x-height; capitals are classical and slightly narrow, while lowercase forms are more fluid and varied. Numerals read as oldstyle figures, blending into text with ascenders and descenders rather than sitting uniformly on the baseline.
It is well suited to book interiors, magazines, and other editorial layouts where an italic companion is needed for emphasis, citations, names, or pull quotes. It can also serve for refined titles, introductions, and literary branding where a classic italic serif texture is desired without excessive ornament.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, with an editorial polish that feels established rather than trendy. Its italic voice is expressive without becoming ornate, suggesting formality, scholarship, and a subtle elegance suited to long-form reading contexts.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that prioritizes readable rhythm and a familiar, classical silhouette. Its moderate contrast and bracketed serifs aim to provide a comfortable, authoritative page color while still delivering a distinctly italic, calligraphic character for emphasis.
The italic features are consistent across the set, including single-storey italic forms and pronounced descenders (notably in g, j, p, q, and y). The ampersand and curved terminals add a gentle, handwritten influence, while counters remain open enough to keep the texture from becoming overly dense in paragraph settings.
