A slanted serif with flowing, calligraphic construction and gently bracketed serifs. Strokes show modest modulation and tapered terminals, giving letters a crisp, cut-by-pen feel without becoming high-contrast. Proportions are balanced with open counters and a steady rhythm; round letters are smooth and slightly ovalized, while diagonals and joins stay sharp and clean. The italic has a measured forward lean and consistent spacing that keeps both the alphabet and numerals coherent in text.
Well suited to book typography, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine features where an italic voice is needed for emphasis or a refined tone. It can also support branding and packaging that calls for a classic, cultured serif presence, especially in headlines, pull quotes, and short passages.
The overall tone feels traditional and literary, with an understated elegance suited to serious reading. Its italic character reads cultivated rather than exuberant, suggesting a bookish, editorial voice with a hint of classical formality.
Likely designed to provide a conventional, readable serif italic that carries traditional typographic manners while staying clean and versatile in continuous text. The restrained modulation, bracketed serifs, and steady spacing suggest an emphasis on comfortable reading and editorial polish.
The sample text shows even color across lines and good clarity at display-to-text sizes, with italics that remain legible in longer passages. Numerals share the same calligraphic slant and restrained detailing, maintaining a unified texture alongside the letters.
