A traditional italic serif with bracketed serifs and gently tapered strokes that create a lively, calligraphic rhythm. The italics show a consistent rightward slant with narrow, pointed entry and exit terminals and slightly cupped joins that keep counters open. Proportions feel bookish and balanced: capitals are stately with modest flair, while the lowercase has a smooth, continuous texture and rounded bowls. Numerals follow the same italic logic, with clear curves and fine terminals that match the letterforms.
Works well for book and long-form editorial settings where an italic is needed for emphasis, quotations, or secondary hierarchy. It also suits refined headlines, pull quotes, and magazine feature typography where a classic, formal italic voice is desirable.
The overall tone is cultivated and literary, leaning toward classical elegance rather than display theatrics. It feels suitable for thoughtful, editorial communication—polished, composed, and slightly traditional in voice.
Likely designed as a conventional text companion italic: readable at paragraph sizes, stylistically coherent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, and expressive enough to signal emphasis while preserving a calm page texture.
The design maintains a steady baseline flow and even color in text, with enough gesture in strokes and terminals to read as distinctly italic without becoming overly ornate. Curved forms (like C, O, Q, e, and g) emphasize smooth modulation, while diagonals (V, W, X, y) remain crisp and controlled.
