An italic serif with gently bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a moderate, calligraphic modulation. The letterforms show diagonal stress and softly tapered terminals, giving strokes a slightly written quality without becoming swashy. Proportions feel balanced with a steady baseline rhythm; capitals are sturdy and traditional, while lowercase forms are compact with clear joins and open counters. Numerals and punctuation match the same angled, serifed construction, maintaining an even color in running text.
Well suited for extended reading in books, magazines, and editorial layouts where an italic is needed for emphasis, quotations, or passages with a classical tone. It also works for formal headings, captions, and academic or literary materials that benefit from a traditional serif italic presence.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, with a literary, editorial voice. Its slanted, calligraphic detailing adds a polite sense of motion and refinement, leaning more traditional than expressive.
The design appears intended as a conventional text italic that provides emphasis with a calm, traditional character. Its moderate contrast and bracketed serifs aim for readability and a familiar typographic voice while still offering a subtly calligraphic texture.
The italic angle is consistent across cases, and the serifs remain restrained rather than decorative, helping long passages stay composed. Rounded letters show smooth curves and controlled contrast, while diagonals and entry strokes keep a subtle handwritten cadence.
