A conventional serif italic with crisp, bracketed serifs and a gently calligraphic modulation. The capitals are relatively upright in construction but consistently slanted, with sharp terminal details and clean joins. Lowercase forms show a traditional italic structure—single‑storey a and g, a softly curved f, and a narrow, flowing rhythm with open counters and clear letter separation. Numerals are oldstyle-leaning in feel, keeping the same slanted, tapered stroke behavior as the letters.
This style performs well for editorial and long-form settings where an italic is needed for emphasis, quotations, and citations. It also suits refined headings and subheads in magazines, book jackets, and cultural or academic materials where a traditional serif tone is desired.
The tone is classic and literary, with an elegant, bookish voice rather than a loud display character. Its slant and sharp finishing strokes add a sense of motion and refinement, suitable for polished, traditional typography.
The design appears intended as a classic text italic that balances tradition with clarity, providing a graceful slanted companion for body copy while retaining crisp, recognizable forms at reading sizes.
Spacing appears measured and even, helping maintain readability in continuous text while preserving a lively italic texture. Pointed entry/exit strokes and tapered diagonals create a slightly formal, engraved impression without becoming overly ornate.
