A classic italic serif with gently bracketed serifs and a noticeably calligraphic construction. Strokes are smooth and moderately tapered, with soft joins and rounded transitions that keep the texture even in continuous text. The italic angle is steady and the letterforms show traditional proportions, combining open counters with slightly flared terminals and a rhythmic, handwritten-like flow. Numerals and capitals maintain the same graceful, slanted logic, with curved entries and exits that emphasize continuity across lines.
Well-suited for editorial typography, book interiors, and magazine layouts where an italic serif is needed for emphasis, quotations, or extended passages. It also works effectively in literary titles, pull quotes, and formal communications that benefit from a classic, cultivated tone.
The overall tone feels traditional and literary, with a refined, cultured voice suited to long-form reading. Its italic character reads as expressive but controlled—more bookish and editorial than decorative—adding warmth and formality without becoming ornate.
This design appears intended as a conventional, highly readable italic companion for text typography, prioritizing smooth rhythm and familiar serif structures. The restrained detailing and consistent slant suggest it was drawn to integrate cleanly into multi-page layouts while still providing a distinct, graceful italic voice.
In the sample text, the face holds a consistent text color and clear word shapes, supported by open apertures and well-spaced italics. Capitals show elegant, understated detailing, while the lowercase provides the main personality through curved terminals and flowing diagonals.
