A classic italic serif with bracketed serifs and a calligraphic, right-leaning rhythm. Strokes show moderate modulation with diagonal stress, giving curves a gently tapered, penned feel without becoming high-contrast. Uppercase forms are sturdy and traditionally proportioned, while the lowercase has fluid joins, compact apertures, and expressive terminals (notably in letters like a, f, g, and y). Numerals appear as oldstyle figures with varied heights and extenders, reinforcing a text-oriented, editorial texture.
Well-suited for book and editorial typography where an italic is needed for emphasis, titles, or quoted passages. It should perform comfortably in continuous reading settings such as magazines, essays, and literature, and can also support refined headings when a classic italic tone is desired.
The overall tone is literary and traditional, with a poised, scholarly voice. Its italic energy reads as articulate rather than flamboyant—suggesting emphasis, quotation, or narrative cadence more than display drama.
The design appears intended as a conventional text italic that balances readability with a gently calligraphic presence. Its moderate contrast, bracketed serifs, and oldstyle numerals suggest a focus on sustained reading and typographic tradition rather than display novelty.
Spacing and sidebearings create an even, continuous text color in running copy, with a noticeable cursive flow from repeated diagonals. The shapes keep a conservative, conventional construction, relying on subtle stroke contrast and serif shaping for character rather than overt quirks.
