A slanted serif with bracketed terminals and a crisp, pen-informed modulation. Strokes move with a smooth diagonal rhythm, combining pointed joins and tapered ends with steadier verticals, producing a clean but lively texture. Curves are open and rounded, counters remain generous, and spacing feels even, giving paragraphs a comfortable, continuous flow. Numerals and capitals keep the same poised, slightly formal posture, with clear differentiation and consistent slant.
Well-suited to editorial typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, introductions, or quoted passages. It also fits book and magazine settings, especially in longer reads where consistent rhythm and clear forms help maintain readability. In display sizes, it can lend a polished, traditional accent to titles, pull quotes, and refined branding lines.
The overall tone is cultured and literary, balancing formality with warmth. Its italic movement reads expressive rather than ornamental, suggesting a traditional bookish voice suited to nuanced emphasis. The result feels refined and trustworthy, with a subtle sense of motion.
Likely designed as a conventional text serif italic that prioritizes smooth reading texture and a disciplined, classical structure. The controlled contrast and bracketed serifs aim to keep the tone professional while still delivering the expressive cadence expected from an italic companion.
The capitals show restrained, classical proportions and sharp finishing, while the lowercase maintains an easy reading rhythm through moderate apertures and clear letter separation. The italic slant is consistent across letters and figures, helping maintain cohesion in longer settings.
