A conventional italic serif with moderately bracketed serifs and smooth, calligraphic curves. Strokes show a clear diagonal stress with moderate thick–thin modulation, giving forms a lively but controlled rhythm. The italic angle is consistent across caps and lowercase, with softly tapered terminals and a generally open, readable texture. Uppercase letters are slightly wide and stable, while the lowercase uses traditional italic constructions with single-storey forms and flowing joins in letters like n and m.
Well-suited for editorial typography where an italic is needed for emphasis, quotations, and secondary hierarchy within long-form reading. It also fits literary branding, formal announcements, and understated invitations where a classic italic voice is desired.
The overall tone is refined and literary, evoking classic book typography and editorial polish. Its slanted, calligraphic flavor adds a sense of motion and sophistication without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended as a traditional, workhorse text italic: expressive enough to differentiate from roman for emphasis, yet restrained and consistent for extended use in paragraphs and editorial layouts.
Capitals maintain a dignified presence with clean, curved entry strokes, and the Q features a pronounced, sweeping tail. Numerals follow the same italic rhythm, with rounded figures and a distinctive, more calligraphic 9. Spacing appears balanced for continuous reading, producing an even gray value in paragraph settings.
