A lightly built italic serif with crisp, unbracketed slab terminals and a clear, calligraphic rhythm. Strokes stay fairly even with only subtle modulation, while the italic slant and softly tapered joins keep the texture fluid rather than rigid. Proportions lean slightly condensed in the lowercase with open bowls and generous counters, and the capitals maintain a formal, inscription-like stance with tidy slab finishing. Numerals follow the same calm, slightly angled construction, reading cleanly alongside text.
Works well for editorial typography, book interiors, and magazine features where an italic is needed for emphasis, quotes, or subheads without breaking the reading flow. It can also serve in refined branding or packaging copy where a classic, slightly formal italic texture is desired.
The overall tone feels literary and traditional, with an understated elegance that suggests editorial seriousness rather than display swagger. Its italic voice reads personable and articulate, suited to conveying emphasis with poise.
The design appears intended to blend a traditional italic reading voice with the sturdiness and clarity of slab terminals, giving emphasis that remains legible and composed in continuous text.
Spacing appears balanced and consistent in running text, producing an even gray value. The slab terminals are pronounced enough to register at text sizes while staying restrained, keeping the italic from feeling overly decorative.
