A slanted serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a smooth, calligraphic rhythm. Strokes show moderate contrast, with thickened diagonals and tapered terminals that keep the texture lively without becoming delicate. The italic construction is evident in the forward-leaning axis, curved entry/exit strokes, and gently flowing joins, while capitals remain sturdy and well-proportioned with crisp serifs. Numerals share the same italic slant and tapered finishing, creating a cohesive, slightly dynamic line in text.
Well-suited for editorial typography, book and magazine text, and any setting where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or secondary text. It also works effectively for literary or formal titling where a classic serif italic can convey refinement and tradition.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, with a bookish elegance that reads as established and trustworthy. Its italic energy adds a sense of motion and emphasis, giving the face a refined, editorial feel rather than a decorative one.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that prioritizes readability and a classical tone, echoing calligraphic origins through tapered terminals and a controlled, moderate contrast. It aims to provide a dependable italic companion style that brings emphasis and elegance without calling undue attention to itself.
The lowercase shows a distinctly cursive italic structure with pronounced curves and angled stress, producing an organic, handwritten-influenced texture. Spacing and letterforms feel balanced and conventional, aiming for comfortable continuous reading while still delivering clear italic character.
