This italic serif shows a steady, medium-contrast stroke with gently bracketed serifs and tapered terminals. The slant is moderate and consistent, with smooth, calligraphic modulation that gives curves a slightly pen-driven feel rather than a rigid geometric one. Letterforms are relatively broad with open counters, and the rhythm stays even from capitals through lowercase, producing a calm, readable texture. Numerals follow the same italic flow, with rounded forms and clear, traditional proportions.
It suits long-form reading contexts such as books, magazines, and editorial layouts, especially where an italic is needed for emphasis, titles, or pull quotes. The broad proportions and open forms also make it a good choice for refined headings and short passages where a classic italic texture is desired.
The overall tone is classic and literary, suggesting printed pages, editorial polish, and traditional craftsmanship. Its italic voice feels expressive without becoming flamboyant, lending a courteous, slightly formal warmth suitable for emphasis and narrative settings.
The design appears intended as a conventional, versatile text italic: traditional in construction, comfortable in continuous reading, and expressive enough for emphasis while remaining disciplined for professional publishing.
Capitals have restrained, traditional detailing and avoid extreme swashes, keeping the set practical. The lowercase shows a balanced mix of rounded bowls and crisp joins, creating a smooth line of text that remains distinct at typical reading sizes.
