A slanted serif text face with bracketed serifs and gently modulated strokes that create a steady, bookish rhythm. The italic construction shows calligraphic influence in the curved joins and tapered terminals, with moderately wide bowls and open apertures that keep forms readable. Uppercase letters are restrained and traditional, while the lowercase features compact, slightly lively shapes and a clear, rounded dot on the i/j. Numerals appear as oldstyle figures with varied heights and descenders, matching the text color and flow of the lowercase.
Well-suited to extended reading in books, longform articles, and magazine layouts where an italic serif is needed for emphasis, quotations, or secondary text. It can also serve in formal communications and academic contexts that benefit from a traditional, text-first appearance.
The overall tone is classical and cultivated, suggesting editorial seriousness and a traditional typographic voice. Its italic energy reads as expressive but controlled—more literary and scholarly than flamboyant.
This design appears intended as a conventional italic companion for text typography, prioritizing readability, steady texture, and a familiar serif palette while adding a subtle calligraphic warmth for emphasis within running copy.
The spacing and proportions feel tuned for continuous reading, producing an even gray value in paragraphs. Curves are smooth and well-balanced, and the italic angle is consistent across letters and figures, supporting cohesive text setting.
