A right-leaning serif italic with bracketed serifs and gently tapered strokes. The contrast is moderate, with rounded joins and softened terminals that keep the texture even in longer lines. Proportions feel traditional: capitals are sturdy and slightly compact, while lowercase forms show a fluid, calligraphic rhythm with clear entry/exit strokes. Numerals appear oldstyle and slanted to match the text, with varied widths that contribute to a lively, bookish color on the page.
Well-suited to book and long-form editorial typography where an italic with strong readability is needed for emphasis, quotations, or extended passages. It also works effectively in magazines, essays, and cultural or academic materials, and can add a traditional, polished tone to logotypes or headlines when set with generous spacing.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a refined, editorial presence. Its italic voice reads expressive without becoming flamboyant, suggesting tradition, credibility, and a measured elegance suited to text-forward design.
Designed to provide a conventional, text-oriented serif italic that balances readability with a touch of calligraphic warmth. The consistent slant, moderate contrast, and traditional proportions suggest an intention to perform reliably in continuous reading while offering expressive emphasis when used for highlighted text.
Spacing and rhythm create a smooth, continuous flow, with serif shapes that remain crisp at display sizes while staying restrained enough for paragraph settings. The italic construction feels consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, reinforcing a cohesive typographic system.
