A slanted serif with elegant, calligraphic modulation and fine, bracketed serifs that taper cleanly into the stems. Proportions are relatively compact, with narrow letterforms and open, oval counters that keep the texture light on the page. Stroke endings often form sharp wedge-like terminals, and many curves show a gentle, pen-informed swelling that creates a steady, readable rhythm. Numerals and capitals follow the same disciplined, high-contrast-leaning logic, staying crisp and restrained rather than decorative.
Well suited for book and long-form editorial settings where an italic is needed for emphasis, quotes, captions, and references while maintaining a classic typographic color. It can also work effectively in magazine features, invitations, and formal communication where a refined italic serif is desirable.
The overall tone is classic and cultivated, evoking traditional book typography and editorial refinement. Its italic voice feels expressive without becoming flamboyant, suggesting formality, intelligence, and a measured sense of movement.
Likely designed as a conventional text-serif italic that prioritizes continuity and readability in running copy, while providing an elegant, traditionally styled emphasis face. The design balances crisp detail with restrained calligraphic energy to remain functional in dense text.
In text, the consistent slant and relatively tight proportions produce an efficient line that reads smoothly, while the sharp terminals and brisk serifs add a slightly dramatic, engraved finish. The lowercase shows a clear, traditional italic construction with flowing joins and a lively baseline presence.
