A serif italic with bracketed, softly tapered serifs and moderate stroke modulation. The design shows a steady rightward slant and a rhythm that feels calligraphic rather than mechanical, with rounded joins and gently sheared curves. Uppercase forms are restrained and bookish, while lowercase letters carry more movement through angled entry/exit strokes and subtly varied widths, creating a lively, text-oriented texture. Figures appear in an oldstyle style with ascenders and descenders that blend naturally into running text.
Well-suited to book and editorial typography, particularly for italic roles such as emphasis, quotations, and introductions. It can also work effectively in magazines and pull quotes where a traditional, readable italic is desired, and in formal communications that benefit from a classic serif tone.
The overall tone is classic and literary, evoking traditional book typography and editorial refinement. Its italic voice feels warm and expressive without becoming decorative, lending a measured elegance to headlines and emphasis within text.
The design appears intended as a conventional, text-first serif italic that balances readability with a touch of calligraphic personality. Its proportions and moderate contrast aim to create an even reading color while preserving the familiar cues of classic print typography.
Curves and bowls are generously open, helping maintain clarity at text sizes, while the italic construction introduces noticeable character in letters like the single-storey a and g. Spacing reads comfortable and even in the sample paragraph, producing a smooth, continuous flow appropriate for long-form settings.
