This is an italic serif with moderate stroke contrast and a steady, right-leaning angle. Serifs are bracketed and smoothly integrated, with tapered terminals and gently cupped entry/exit strokes that suggest a calligraphic origin. Curves are round and open, counters are clear, and spacing is comfortable, producing an even rhythm across words. The forms show subtle, humanist modulation rather than sharp geometric construction, and the numerals follow the same slanted, text-oriented tone.
Well suited to book and long-form editorial settings where italic is used for emphasis, titles, and quotations. It also works for refined announcements and stationery applications that benefit from a classic, polished italic voice, especially at text and small display sizes.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, with a warm, literary voice typical of editorial italics. It reads as elegant without being brittle, suitable for conveying emphasis and a measured sense of sophistication.
The design appears intended as a conventional, highly readable text italic that pairs naturally with a roman companion, prioritizing smooth word shapes, comfortable spacing, and a restrained calligraphic elegance.
Capital shapes remain relatively restrained and text-like, avoiding overly decorative swashes, while still showing lively curvature in letters such as J, Q, and S. Descenders are moderately long and fluid, supporting an expressive line without disrupting paragraph texture.
