A right-leaning serif italic with a smooth, calligraphic construction and clearly bracketed serifs. Strokes show a moderate thick–thin relationship, with tapered terminals and crisp, slightly knife-like finishing on many joins. The rhythm is lively and varied, with narrow, angled entry strokes and generous curves that give counters an open, oval feel. Capitals are relatively restrained and slanted to match the lowercase, while figures and punctuation sit comfortably with the same angled, serifed treatment.
Well-suited for long-form typography where an italic companion is needed for emphasis, titles, citations, and pull quotes. It also fits editorial layouts and print applications that benefit from a classic serif italic voice, such as essays, reviews, and cultural or academic content.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, evoking book typography and classic editorial voice. Its italic energy reads expressive without becoming decorative, making it feel polished and authoritative rather than playful.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that prioritizes readability and traditional typographic manners, providing a graceful emphasis style with controlled contrast and consistent serif shaping.
The lowercase shows a notably fluid baseline motion typical of italics, with single-storey forms and a pronounced diagonal stress across rounded letters. Ascenders are prominent and the spacing feels text-oriented, supporting continuous reading while still providing a distinct italic color on the page.
