This is an italic serif with a calm, bookish rhythm and moderately modulated strokes. The design shows bracketed serifs, tapered terminals, and a consistent rightward slant that reads more calligraphic than mechanical. Letterforms are relatively open with clear counters, while curves and joins stay smooth and controlled. The lowercase includes distinctly italic constructions (single-storey a and g), and the figures follow the same slanted, oldstyle-leaning feel with varied widths and traditional proportions.
Well-suited to long-form editorial settings such as books, magazines, and essays, particularly where an italic is needed for emphasis, quotations, or secondary passages. It can also serve for refined invitations, programs, and other formal print contexts where a traditional italic serif tone is desired.
The overall tone feels classic and literary, evoking traditional publishing and cultivated formality. Its italic voice is expressive without becoming decorative, giving text a sense of motion and refinement. The impression is confident and familiar, suited to content that aims to feel established and authoritative.
The font appears designed as a conventional text italic: readable at paragraph sizes, typographically traditional, and expressive enough to provide emphasis without overpowering surrounding roman text. Its forms suggest an intention to balance classic book typography with a gentle calligraphic liveliness.
Capitals retain a steady, traditional presence and pair comfortably with the more cursive lowercase, creating a clear hierarchy. Spacing appears even and text color is consistent in the sample, suggesting a design tuned for continuous reading rather than display theatrics.
