A serif italic with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and softly tapered terminals. The letterforms show moderate stroke modulation with a diagonal, calligraphic stress and smooth entry/exit strokes, giving curves a slightly swelling rhythm. Proportions are traditional and text-oriented, with rounded bowls and a gently slanted axis; counters remain open and the spacing reads even in continuous setting. Numerals follow the same italic movement, with flowing curves and modest, classic detailing.
Well-suited to book and magazine typography, especially for emphasis, introductions, pull quotes, and other italic-driven hierarchy. It can also serve formal print needs—programs, invitations, and heritage-leaning branding—where a classic serif italic voice is desired.
The overall tone is bookish and cultivated, evoking established publishing and traditional correspondence. Its italic slant feels expressive without becoming flamboyant, balancing elegance with a steady, workmanlike readability for extended text.
Likely drawn to provide a conventional, highly usable italic with traditional serif detailing and a calligraphic undercurrent. The emphasis appears to be on familiar text proportions and a smooth, readable rhythm that still carries a touch of elegance in display sizes.
The design emphasizes continuity across strokes: joins are smooth, terminals tend toward teardrop or softly pointed finishes, and many capitals show subtle flare and curvature that keeps the texture lively. In paragraph samples the color is consistent and slightly dynamic, producing a refined, editorial page feel rather than a rigid, mechanical one.
