This serif italic shows a gently calligraphic construction with flowing diagonals, bracketed serifs, and moderate stroke modulation. Capitals are relatively open and slightly narrow in feel, with crisp terminals and a consistent rightward slant that keeps lines moving. The lowercase has a compact, readable silhouette with clear ascenders and descenders and a smooth rhythm; details like the single-storey “a” and the long, curved “f” reinforce the text-italic character. Numerals follow the same slanted, old-style sensibility, pairing well with running text.
It works well for continuous reading in books and editorial layouts, especially for emphasis, quotations, captions, and introductory matter where an italic voice is needed. The clear rhythm and restrained detailing also suit academic or literary settings that benefit from a traditional typographic tone.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a refined, editorial flavor suited to traditional typography. It reads as composed and slightly formal, conveying craft and a quiet elegance rather than loud display energy.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic: a complementary, readable companion for long-form typography that adds emphasis with a polished, historically informed slant and carefully shaped serifs.
Letterforms maintain a steady baseline and cohesive spacing, producing an even color in paragraphs despite the italic angle. The design favors graceful curves and tapered joins over sharp geometric construction, giving it a familiar book-face demeanor.
