A slanted serif with calligraphic construction and gently bracketed serifs. Strokes show a moderate thick–thin rhythm with diagonal stress, giving rounded letters a slightly swept, written feel rather than rigid geometry. Proportions are classical and text-oriented, with open counters and clear internal space; the italic angle is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures. Curves are smooth and terminals are tidy and tapered, producing an even texture in continuous reading.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where an italic is used for emphasis, titles, or citations. It also fits formal print materials such as programs, invitations, and institutional communications that benefit from a traditional serif voice.
The overall tone is bookish and traditional, suggesting editorial polish and a calm, cultivated voice. Its italic movement reads as elegant rather than flashy, suited to emphasis and quotation while retaining a conservative, familiar character.
Likely designed as a conventional text serif italic that prioritizes readability and a classic typographic color, providing an expressive but disciplined companion style for body text and editorial hierarchy.
Capitals maintain restrained swash-less forms and rely on proportion and contrast for dignity. Numerals follow the same slanted, serifed logic as the letters, keeping the set cohesive for mixed text and modest display sizing.
