A slanted serif with moderate stroke contrast and clearly bracketed serifs that soften joins and terminals. The italic construction shows a steady rightward angle, gently tapered strokes, and compact, well-contained counters that keep text color even. Uppercase forms feel formal and stable, while the lowercase introduces more calligraphic movement through curved entry/exit strokes and a slightly livelier rhythm. Numerals align comfortably with the text style, matching the same serif treatment and contrast without calling excessive attention to themselves.
Well suited for editorial typography where italic is used for emphasis, quotations, and named entities, as well as for book interiors and magazine features. It can also work for formal stationery and invitations when a traditional, serif-italic voice is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, with a composed, editorial feel. Its italic energy reads as cultivated rather than flashy, suggesting thoughtful emphasis and a measured elegance suited to long-form reading.
Designed to provide a dependable, readable italic companion for conventional serif typography, balancing classical proportions with enough calligraphic nuance to differentiate emphasis in running text. The aim appears to be versatility in editorial settings, prioritizing consistent texture and familiar letterforms over overt stylization.
In text, the font maintains a consistent baseline and a smooth cadence, with italics that remain legible at larger paragraph sizes. The slant and soft bracketing give emphasis without turning into a decorative script, keeping it firmly in a conventional text-serifs lane.
