This is a slanted serif with gently calligraphic construction and bracketed, wedge-like serifs. Strokes show modest thick–thin modulation, with smooth curves and tapered terminals that keep the texture light on the page. Proportions lean toward traditional text settings: moderate ascenders and descenders, rounded bowls, and slightly open apertures that prevent the italics from becoming overly tight. Spacing reads even and readable, while the italic angle and subtly varied letter shapes add a lively rhythm across words and lines.
Well-suited to continuous reading in books, essays, and editorial layouts where an italic voice is needed for emphasis or secondary text. It can also work in refined print applications—such as invitations, programs, and understated brand typography—where a classic serif italic texture is desired.
The overall tone is bookish and traditional, with a quiet elegance that feels appropriate for long-form reading. Its italic movement adds a sense of narrative emphasis—polished rather than dramatic—suggesting editorial restraint and classic taste.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that balances readability with a mild calligraphic character. It aims to deliver a familiar, literary texture while providing enough slant and modulation to clearly signal emphasis in running text.
Figures appear lining in height with the capitals and maintain the same tapered, serifed detailing, supporting consistent color in mixed text. The italics are expressive but controlled, giving words a gentle forward motion without sacrificing clarity.
