A conventional italic serif with moderate stroke modulation and clearly bracketed serifs. The forms show a gently calligraphic, oldstyle influence: rounded bowls with diagonal stress, tapered terminals, and a steady, text-oriented rhythm. Capitals are slightly wide with crisp top serifs and confident curves, while the lowercase is slanted with compact proportions and smoothly flowing joins. Numerals follow the same italic cadence, with open counters and traditional serifed endings that keep the texture even in running text.
Well-suited to long-form reading environments such as books and editorial layouts, especially for emphasis, quotations, and introductory copy where an italic voice is needed. It can also work for refined branding accents, invitations, and headings when a traditional, text-serif italic feel is desired.
The overall tone is classical and editorial, evoking book typography and established print traditions. Its italic slant and restrained contrast give it a cultured, literary voice—expressive without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended as a dependable, traditional italic for continuous text, combining familiar serif structure with subtle calligraphic movement. It prioritizes a smooth reading rhythm and conventional letterforms that feel at home in classic publishing contexts.
Spacing appears comfortable and consistent, producing a cohesive italic texture in paragraphs. Curves and terminals lean toward smooth, rounded finishing rather than sharp beaks, which helps maintain readability at text sizes while still providing a distinctly italic character.
