A conventional italic serif with bracketed serifs, tapered terminals, and a steady diagonal stress. Strokes show moderate modulation, with crisp joins and clean, sharp finishing cuts that keep counters open and forms compact. The capitals are slightly narrow and upright in structure but clearly slanted, while the lowercase has a flowing, handwritten rhythm with restrained entry/exit strokes and occasional gentle ball terminals. Numerals follow the same italic construction, leaning forward with consistent weight and clear, traditional proportions.
Well suited for long-form italics in books and editorial layouts, including emphasis, quotations, and running text where a traditional italic companion is needed. It can also serve effectively in magazine features, captions, and formal announcements where a classic serif voice with forward motion is appropriate.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, with an editorial formality that feels established rather than decorative. Its slant and calligraphic cues add motion and refinement, suggesting emphasis and a composed, literary voice.
The design appears intended as a dependable, conventional italic serif for text settings, offering readable, moderately contrasted forms with a restrained calligraphic flavor. It aims to deliver emphasis and elegance without sacrificing the disciplined rhythm expected in editorial typography.
The italic angle is pronounced enough to read as true italic rather than merely oblique, and spacing appears even and controlled for continuous reading. Letterforms keep a traditional silhouette with minimal flourishes, prioritizing clarity and rhythm over display eccentricity.
