A slanted serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and softly modulated strokes that create a steady, readable texture. Curves are generously rounded and counters are open, while terminals tend to finish in tapered, slightly calligraphic forms. The rhythm is even and text-oriented, with moderate ascenders/descenders and figures that align comfortably with the lowercase, producing a cohesive line in continuous reading.
Well suited to editorial typography—books, essays, magazines, and other long-form text where an italic voice is needed for emphasis or citations. It can also work in restrained branding and packaging that benefits from a classic, humanist serif impression without feeling overly ornate.
The overall tone feels traditional and literary, with a warm, humanist slant rather than a sharp, high-fashion italic. It conveys familiarity and confidence—suited to long-form communication where a gentle sense of craft and refinement is desirable.
This design appears intended as a dependable text serif italic: traditional in structure, gently calligraphic in detail, and optimized for a calm reading rhythm. The aim seems to be an italic that reads smoothly in paragraphs while still providing a clear, elegant contrast to roman text.
The italic angle is pronounced enough to signal emphasis clearly, yet the letterforms remain sturdy and conventional. Uppercase proportions stay dignified and stable, while the lowercase maintains a smooth, flowing texture; the numerals share the same serifed, slightly calligraphic character for consistent typographic color.
