A conventional italic serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a pronounced rightward slant. Strokes show clear, moderate contrast with tapered terminals and subtly calligraphic modulation, producing a crisp, lively rhythm. The lowercase leans on traditional italic forms with single-storey a and g, a narrow, curved f, and compact, slightly condensed counters; capitals are gently slanted with sharp entry/exit strokes and clean joins. Numerals follow the same italic flow, with open shapes and angled stress that keeps figures readable while maintaining an elegant texture.
Works well for book and long-form typography where an italic is needed for emphasis, titles, or quotations, maintaining clarity at typical reading sizes. It also suits editorial layouts—magazines, essays, and reviews—where a classic voice with a bit of sharpness helps define hierarchy. For print-oriented materials like invitations or programs, it can provide a formal, traditional accent when used in short passages.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with an editorial polish that suggests tradition and authority. Its slanted, sharpened details add energy without becoming decorative, giving it a refined, formal voice suited to cultured settings.
Designed to provide a traditional text-italic companion that feels rooted in classical serif practice, balancing readability with a distinctly calligraphic slant and crisp serif shaping. The intention appears to be an elegant, workhorse italic that adds emphasis and hierarchy while keeping an even, bookish texture on the page.
Letterspacing appears comfortably tight in text, creating an even color and continuous movement across lines. The sharper triangular serifs and pointed terminals are especially noticeable in capitals and diagonals, lending a slightly dramatic edge compared to softer book italics.
