A right-leaning serif italic with flowing, calligraphic construction and softly bracketed serifs. Strokes show moderate contrast with tapered terminals and smooth joins, producing a lively diagonal rhythm. The capitals are open and relatively restrained, while the lowercase features pronounced entry/exit strokes, single-storey forms (notably a and g), and a gently swinging baseline feel typical of text italics. Numerals are proportional and oldstyle-leaning in character, with varied heights and curved forms that blend naturally with running text.
Well suited to editorial and book contexts where an italic is needed for emphasis, quotations, captions, and sidebars while keeping a cohesive, classical texture. It can also serve in magazine subheads or pull quotes where a refined, traditional italic voice is desirable.
The overall tone is polished and literary, suggesting tradition and careful typesetting rather than overt display. Its motion and tapered finishing give it a refined, slightly formal voice suited to nuanced emphasis and narrative text.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that prioritizes readability and rhythmic flow, echoing classical, calligraphy-informed forms for a composed yet expressive presence in continuous typesetting.
The italic slant is consistent across cases, and spacing appears comfortable for continuous reading, with counters kept open and serifs kept unobtrusive. The shapes favor smooth curves over sharp corners, which helps maintain an even texture in paragraphs.
