A compact italic serif with bracketed serifs and a steady, moderately contrasted stroke. The letterforms show a clear diagonal stress and a gently calligraphic construction, with tapered joins and slightly sharpened terminals that keep counters open despite the narrow proportions. Curves are smooth and controlled, and the italic angle is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures. Overall spacing appears tight and text-like, favoring a continuous reading rhythm over display-level airiness.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as books, essays, and magazine text where an italic is needed for emphasis, titles of works, or citations. It can also serve in formal communications and brand collateral that benefits from a classic serif italic texture at paragraph sizes.
The tone is traditional and bookish, with an editorial polish that reads as established and trustworthy. Its italic voice feels purposeful rather than ornamental—suggesting emphasis, quotation, or classical refinement more than playful expressiveness.
The design appears intended as a conventional text italic that preserves readability in continuous settings while adding a refined, classical voice. Its controlled contrast, compact fit, and consistent serif treatment aim to create a smooth, uninterrupted typographic color in running text.
Capitals carry understated, wedge-like finishing and maintain a restrained width, while lowercase forms keep a disciplined cadence with modest extenders. Numerals follow the same italic momentum and serif detailing, helping the texture stay even in mixed alphanumeric settings.
