A conventional italic serif with softly bracketed serifs and a noticeably calligraphic stroke flow. Curves are open and rounded with moderate modulation, while joins and terminals stay smooth rather than sharp. Proportions lean slightly narrow with a lively, right-leaning rhythm, and the figures follow the same italic, oldstyle-leaning logic for an even texture in running text.
Well suited for book and editorial typography, especially for emphasis, quotations, captions, and literary titling where a traditional italic is expected. It can also serve in formal invitations or refined branding that benefits from a classic serif italic tone.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking book typography and editorial refinement. Its italic voice feels expressive without becoming decorative, giving text a gentle sense of motion and elegance.
Likely designed as a readable, traditional italic companion for text settings, balancing calligraphic character with steady spacing and familiar serif construction. The aim appears to be graceful emphasis and comfortable long-form use rather than display-driven novelty.
Capitals appear restrained and classical, pairing cleanly with more cursive-influenced lowercase forms such as the single-storey a and g. The italics are consistent across letters and numerals, helping maintain a coherent color in mixed text and emphasis.
