This is an italic serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and a moderately modulated stroke. The letters show a consistent rightward slant with calligraphic influence, visible in tapered terminals, angled entry/exit strokes, and gently cupped serifs. Proportions feel traditional and text-oriented, with compact internal spaces and steady rhythm; round forms (like O and Q) are slightly ovalized, and diagonals (V, W, X) keep sharp joins. Numerals follow the same italic motion and contrast, reading cleanly at text sizes.
Well-suited for book and long-form editorial typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or titles within text. It can also serve in refined print materials—programs, essays, and catalogs—where a traditional serif italic is expected and readability remains a priority.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, evoking book typography and editorial tradition. Its italic energy adds a poised, expressive emphasis while staying restrained and professional rather than decorative.
The design appears intended as a conventional, text-centric serif italic that balances calligraphic character with disciplined structure. It aims to provide a familiar, dependable italic for continuous reading and typographic hierarchy rather than an overtly stylized display look.
Uppercase forms are relatively upright in structure but retain the italic stress and angled detailing, helping headings feel formal without becoming flamboyant. The lowercase shows clear differentiation and steady spacing, supporting continuous reading in longer passages.
