A traditional italic serif with gently modulated strokes and bracketed wedge serifs. The letterforms lean with a smooth, calligraphic rhythm, showing tapered joins, open counters, and slightly varied character widths that create a lively texture. Capitals are restrained and classical, while lowercase forms feature italic constructions such as a single-storey a and a flowing, looped g; terminals and serifs finish with sharp, clean edges rather than blunt slabs.
Well-suited for long-form typography where italics are needed for emphasis, citations, and foreign words, as well as for refined editorial layouts. It also works effectively for pull quotes, magazine subheads, and formal printed materials that benefit from a classic italic voice.
The overall tone is bookish and established, conveying a sense of heritage and editorial authority. Its italic movement adds a touch of elegance and human warmth, suitable for emphasis without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended as a conventional text companion italic: understated, readable, and rhythmically animated, offering traditional serif authority with a fluid, humanist slant.
Numerals appear lining with clear, traditional shapes and angled stress that matches the text. The design maintains consistent slant and spacing across the set, producing a cohesive, readable line even at larger sizes where the stroke modulation and tapering become more apparent.
