A refined italic serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The overall construction is smooth and slightly calligraphic, with tapered terminals and a consistent rightward slant that keeps the rhythm lively without becoming flamboyant. Uppercase forms feel restrained and traditional, while the lowercase shows more motion through angled entries, gently curved bowls, and long, clean extenders. Spacing reads even and controlled, supporting coherent texture in paragraph settings.
Well-suited for book and magazine typography where an italic is needed for emphasis, quotations, introductions, or captions. It also fits formal editorial layouts and printed materials that benefit from a traditional, cultivated voice, such as programs, invitations, and branded collateral with a classic lean.
The font conveys a classic, literary tone—polished and formal, with an editorial sensibility. Its high-contrast italic gesture adds sophistication and a hint of ceremony, making text feel considered and authored rather than utilitarian.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that prioritizes readability and typographic elegance. Its controlled contrast and traditional detailing suggest it was drawn to integrate smoothly into extended text while providing a graceful italic color for hierarchy and emphasis.
Italic capitals maintain a steady stance with sharp, neatly finished serifs, while several letters show subtle tapering that enhances the pen-like character. Numerals follow the same refined contrast and slant, blending naturally into running text rather than appearing strictly technical or tabular.
