This is an italic serif with bracketed wedge-like serifs and moderately modulated strokes. The italic construction is evident in the consistent rightward slant, the flowing entry/exit strokes in lowercase, and the gently calligraphic rhythm. Uppercase forms are relatively stately and open, with smooth curves (C, G, O, Q) and crisp, slightly tapered terminals; the Q shows a pronounced sweeping tail. Lowercase shows traditional italic traits such as a single-storey a, a looped g, a curved descender on y, and lively, angled joins, while counters remain clear at text sizes. Numerals are oldstyle-leaning in feel, with varied shapes and soft curves that harmonize with the lowercase texture.
It is well suited for book and editorial settings where an italic is needed for emphasis, quotations, titles within text, or captions. The clear counters and disciplined serif structure support comfortable reading in longer runs, while the graceful slant also works for refined headlines and pull quotes.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, evoking editorial typography and classical book work. Its slanted, calligraphic energy adds elegance and motion while remaining reserved and readable, giving it a scholarly and somewhat formal presence.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-quality text italic that complements a classic serif family. It emphasizes readability and typographic tradition, with enough calligraphic character to feel elegant without becoming decorative.
Spacing and rhythm appear even in continuous text, producing a smooth italic texture without excessive condensation. The design balances crisp serifs and clean curves, yielding a refined look that suits longer passages as well as emphasized phrases.
