An italic serif with bracketed serifs and a smooth, calligraphic flow. Strokes show moderate contrast with diagonal stress, producing a steady rhythm without looking overly sharp. The letterforms are slightly compact with open counters and gently tapered terminals, and the slant is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures. Numerals follow the same italic construction, with clear shapes and traditional proportions.
Well-suited for editorial typography where an italic is needed for emphasis in long-form reading, such as books, magazines, essays, and scholarly or cultural content. It also works effectively for quotations, pull quotes, introductions, and other hierarchy moments that benefit from a traditional, polished italic voice.
The overall tone feels classic and literary, with a refined, editorial voice. Its italic movement adds warmth and elegance, suggesting emphasis that is poised rather than flashy.
Likely designed as a dependable text italic that preserves traditional serif cues while maintaining smooth, readable movement. The goal appears to be an italic that can carry emphasis and tone in continuous typography without disrupting the page’s texture.
Capitals are stately and clean, while the lowercase carries most of the liveliness through curved joins and tapered entry/exit strokes. The design keeps a conventional reading texture, avoiding extreme swashes or exaggerated flourishes.
