A conventional italic serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and gently tapered strokes. The letterforms show moderate contrast with an oblique stress that reads clearly in running text, and the italic is built with true cursive structure rather than simple slanting. Proportions are traditional, with relatively narrow, lively forms, modest ascenders and descenders, and clear counters that keep the texture even. Terminals are softly shaped and slightly calligraphic, giving the face a smooth rhythm across words.
Well-suited to long-form reading contexts such as books and editorial layouts, where an italic serif is needed for emphasis, quotations, and secondary text. It can also work for formal communication pieces—such as invitations or programs—where a traditional, polished tone is desired.
The overall tone feels classic and literary, evoking book typography and established editorial design. Its italic movement adds elegance and a sense of refinement without becoming overly decorative.
The design appears intended as a dependable, traditional italic companion for text typography, balancing readability with a subtle calligraphic character. It prioritizes an even reading texture and familiar proportions while adding graceful motion through its italic construction.
In the samples, the italic angle is consistent and the spacing produces a cohesive, continuous text color. Numerals follow the same italic rhythm and appear designed to sit comfortably alongside the letters in text settings.
