This is an italic serif with crisp bracketed serifs and a fluid, calligraphic construction. Strokes show moderate contrast and a consistent rightward slant, with tapered joins and subtly sharpened terminals that keep the texture lively without becoming delicate. The lowercase is compact and text-oriented, with a single-storey a, a gently curved f with a long descender, and a y featuring a sweeping tail; counters are open and the rhythm is even across words. The numerals appear as oldstyle figures, mixing ascenders and descenders and reinforcing a bookish, classical color in running text.
Well suited to book typography, magazines, and other editorial settings where an italic is needed for emphasis, quotations, and titles within text. It also fits formal print materials like invitations or programs when a classic, polished italic voice is desired.
The overall tone is literary and traditional, suggesting careful typesetting and a cultured, editorial voice. Its italic feels expressive but controlled, reading as refined rather than flamboyant.
The design appears intended as a conventional text italic that brings a traditional serif palette into continuous reading, balancing calligraphic motion with typographic discipline for comfortable, confident emphasis.
Capitals are stable and dignified with clear serif articulation, while the italic angle and slightly varied widths give the line a natural, written cadence. The font maintains strong clarity at text sizes, with punctuation and joins that stay crisp in continuous reading.
