A conventional serif italic with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke modulation, and a steady, bookish rhythm. The italics are clearly cursive in construction rather than simply slanted roman, with flowing joins and gently tapered entry/exit strokes. Curves show an angled stress and open, rounded counters, while serifs remain crisp and neatly integrated into the stems. Overall proportions feel balanced and readable, with a slightly lively, handwritten inflection that stays controlled and consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Well-suited to long-form reading such as books, essays, and magazine layouts where an italic is needed for emphasis, citations, or quoted passages. It also fits formal collateral like programs and invitations when a classic italic tone is desired.
The tone is traditional and polished, evoking literary and editorial typography. Its italic voice feels expressive without becoming decorative, giving text a sense of warmth and cultivated formality.
The design appears intended as a dependable, traditional text italic that delivers emphasis with elegance and clarity. It aims to integrate seamlessly into serif text settings while offering enough calligraphic character to feel distinct in running copy.
Capitals have a dignified presence and pair smoothly with the more fluid lowercase, producing a harmonious typographic color. Numerals follow the same italic logic, with clear differentiation and a coherent slant that supports continuous reading.
