A slanted serif with an oldstyle foundation, showing gently bracketed serifs, tapered terminals, and moderate stroke modulation. The curves are smooth and slightly elastic, with a steady baseline rhythm and a relatively narrow, flowing italic texture in text. Counters are open and rounded, and the joins and diagonals feel pen-influenced rather than rigidly geometric, giving the letterforms a controlled, editorial color.
It suits editorial typography where an italic is needed for emphasis, quotations, and cited titles, and it can also support formal print applications such as programs or invitations. The consistent modulation and open forms help it remain readable in continuous text while still providing a distinct, elegant italic presence.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, with a cultured, slightly humanist warmth. Its italic voice reads as formal and expressive without becoming ornate, making it feel appropriate for traditional publishing and refined brand messaging.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that balances traditional forms with a smooth, contemporary drawing. It aims to provide a dependable, readable italic with enough calligraphic character to add emphasis and hierarchy in running text.
The italic construction is evident across both capitals and lowercase, with lively entry/exit strokes and a consistent rightward slant. Numerals follow the same serifed, modulated style, blending naturally with text rather than looking purely utilitarian.
