A conventional italic serif with gently flowing, calligraphic construction and bracketed serifs. Strokes show clear but moderate contrast, with tapered entry/exit terminals and a consistent rightward slant. Proportions feel compact and slightly narrow in the lowercase, with rounded forms kept crisp by small apertures and controlled curves. The capitals are formal and steady, pairing well with the more cursive rhythm of the lowercase for continuous text.
Well-suited to long-form reading contexts such as books, essays, and editorial layouts, especially where italic is used for emphasis or citations. It also works for formal correspondence, pull quotes, and subheads that benefit from a traditional italic serif tone.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, with a measured elegance rather than flashiness. Its italic voice feels traditional and articulate, suitable for emphasis that remains restrained and readable.
The design appears intended as a dependable, conventional text italic: readable at paragraph sizes, stylistically aligned with classic serif typography, and expressive enough to add emphasis without disrupting the overall texture of a page.
Figures appear lining with serifed forms, matching the text color and cadence of the letters. The italic is lively without becoming overly cursive, keeping a steady baseline and even spacing that supports paragraph settings.
