A serif italic with oldstyle proportions and a steady, medium stroke contrast. The letterforms lean with a smooth, calligraphic rhythm, showing bracketed serifs and tapered terminals that keep strokes lively without becoming delicate. Curves are generous and counters stay open, while capitals remain restrained and readable, pairing broad forms with crisp, slightly sharpened joins. Numerals follow the same italic flow, with traditional shapes and clear differentiation between figures.
Well suited for book and long-form editorial settings where an italic is needed for emphasis, quotations, or secondary hierarchy. It can also serve effectively in refined titles, pull quotes, and introductions that benefit from a classic, text-oriented serif voice.
The tone is traditional and cultured, evoking book typography and established editorial design. Its italic character feels expressive yet controlled, suggesting refinement rather than flamboyance, and it reads as confident and authoritative on the page.
The design appears intended as a conventional, text-first italic that prioritizes sustained readability while retaining a distinctly traditional, oldstyle flavor. It aims to provide clear emphasis and a polished editorial presence without calling excessive attention to itself.
Spacing appears comfortable and consistent, supporting longer lines of text without looking tight. The italic construction favors continuous motion through the baseline, with a cohesive slant across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
