A traditional serif italic with gently bracketed serifs and a calligraphic, humanist rhythm. Strokes show moderate contrast with rounded joins and soft terminals, producing a smooth, continuous texture in text. Capitals are slightly slanted with sturdy, classical proportions and subtly flared finishing strokes, while the lowercase leans more dynamically with lively entry strokes and a pronounced italic flow. Numerals follow the same italic construction and maintain clear, open counters for comfortable reading.
Well-suited to book and long-form editorial settings where an italic with strong typographic tradition is needed for emphasis, quotations, or secondary text. It can also serve as a refined display italic for titles, pull quotes, and formal printed materials such as programs or invitations.
The overall tone feels literary and cultivated, with an old-world elegance suited to refined editorial typography. Its italic movement adds warmth and expressiveness without becoming overly decorative, suggesting a voice that is confident, traditional, and slightly romantic.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that balances readability with classical character, offering expressive italic forms while maintaining a disciplined, bookish texture across paragraphs.
In the sample text, the face holds a consistent baseline and even spacing, creating a coherent paragraph color despite the energetic italic forms. The italics show clear differentiation between similar shapes (such as i/j and n/m), supporting legibility in longer passages.
