This is an italic serif with a traditional, oldstyle construction and gently bracketed serifs. Strokes show a calligraphic flow with diagonal stress and tapered terminals, producing a smooth, continuous rhythm across words. Capitals are relatively upright in structure but still carry italic modulation, while the lowercase leans with lively entry/exit strokes and compact counters. Numerals follow the same serifed, slightly calligraphic logic, with rounded forms and subtle stroke thinning at joins and terminals.
Well suited for editorial settings such as magazines, essays, and book typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or secondary text. It can also work for formal communications and invitations, especially where a classic, refined tone is desired without ornate flourishes.
The overall tone feels bookish and cultivated, with an understated elegance associated with literary and editorial typography. Its motion and soft detailing give it a human, written character without becoming decorative or overly expressive.
The design appears intended as a conventional italic companion for serif text typography, balancing readability with a distinctly calligraphic, oldstyle flavor. It aims to provide a graceful emphasis style that maintains an even typographic color in continuous reading.
The italics are driven by consistent stroke logic rather than extreme swash forms, keeping the texture even in longer lines. Letterforms show restrained flair in terminals and curves (notably in the lowercase), supporting a smooth reading pattern while still signaling emphasis.
