This is a serif italic with a broad, gently spreading stance and a smooth, continuous rhythm. Strokes show moderate thick–thin modulation with clearly angled stress, and the joins and terminals feel pen-influenced rather than mechanical. Serifs are bracketed and tapered, with softly sharpened entry/exit strokes that keep curves lively without becoming ornamental. Capitals are slightly narrow and elegant in their slant, while lowercase forms are open and readable, with a single-storey “a” and “g” and a brisk, slightly cursive forward motion.
It suits continuous reading in books and editorial layouts, especially for emphasis, introductions, pull quotes, and other italic-led text. The steady modulation and open forms also make it appropriate for refined print pieces such as programs, essays, and cultured branding copy where a traditional tone is desired.
The overall tone is classic and literary, suggesting traditional book typography with an editorial polish. Its italic is expressive but controlled, conveying refinement and a cultured, formal voice rather than exuberant display.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable serif italic with a subtle calligraphic undercurrent—prioritizing paragraph rhythm and elegance while preserving familiar, classical letterforms.
Figures appear lining and italicized to match the text, with rounded shapes and modest contrast that maintain even color in paragraphs. The italic angle is consistent across the alphabet, and the wide set combined with open counters helps prevent the texture from feeling dark or congested at text sizes.
