This serif italic shows a gently calligraphic construction with smooth, bracketed serifs and tapered terminals. Strokes exhibit moderate thick–thin modulation with soft transitions, producing an even, readable rhythm in text. Proportions are slightly generous horizontally, with open counters and clear inner spaces; curves are rounded and unforced, and the italic slant feels consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures. Overall spacing appears comfortable rather than tight, supporting a calm texture on the page.
Well-suited for continuous reading in book and magazine settings, especially for emphasis, quotations, captions, and introductory sections. It also performs effectively in refined editorial headlines or subheads where an italic serif is desired without excessive ornament.
The tone is polished and literary, evoking traditional book typography and editorial refinement. Its italic voice reads expressive without becoming decorative, lending a poised, cultivated character to headlines and emphasis alike.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that prioritizes readability and a cultured page color, pairing classical proportions with a measured, calligraphic slant for elegant emphasis in editorial typography.
The caps present a dignified, classical silhouette with restrained flair, while the lowercase maintains flowing joins and softly finished terminals that keep long passages smooth. Numerals follow the same italic modulation, helping mixed text and figures feel cohesive.
