This italic serif shows a moderate rightward slant with softly bracketed serifs and clear stroke modulation that stays controlled rather than dramatic. The letterforms lean on traditional proportions with open counters, rounded bowls, and tapered terminals that give a smooth, continuous rhythm across text. Curves are clean and confident (notably in C, O, and lower-case e), while diagonals and joins keep a steady, print-oriented texture. Numerals follow the same italic logic with balanced widths and consistent contrast, maintaining an even color in running lines.
It performs well for book and editorial typography where an italic is needed for emphasis, quotations, citations, or secondary passages without breaking the overall texture of the page. It also suits magazine features and literary or academic materials that benefit from a traditional, restrained italic voice.
The overall tone is classical and literary, projecting a composed, educated voice suited to long-form reading. Its italic is expressive without becoming ornate, conveying a refined, slightly old-world formality that feels at home in traditional publishing contexts.
The font appears designed as a conventional text italic that prioritizes readability and a steady typographic rhythm while adding measured elegance through moderated contrast and tapered details. It aims to integrate seamlessly into continuous reading settings while still providing clear emphasis when set in italic.
The design maintains a stable baseline and consistent slant across capitals, lowercase, and figures, which helps paragraphs look orderly rather than lively or hand-scripted. Serif shapes are conventional and gently sculpted, supporting a familiar reading experience with a subtle calligraphic undercurrent.
