A classic italic serif with moderate stroke contrast and a smooth, calligraphic rhythm. Serifs are bracketed and gently tapered, and many strokes finish with softly cupped terminals that keep the texture lively without becoming decorative. Capitals are stable and slightly wide, while the lowercase shows a flowing italic construction with rounded joins and clear entry/exit strokes; counters remain fairly open and the overall color reads even in paragraph setting. Numerals follow the same italic slant and contrast, with oldstyle-like curves and a consistent, bookish presence.
Well suited for extended reading contexts where an italic is needed for emphasis, citations, and foreign phrases in books or long-form editorial layouts. It also works for refined titling—chapter openers, pull quotes, programs, and invitations—where a classic, cultured italic tone is desirable.
The tone is traditional and literary, evoking book typography and editorial refinement. Its italic voice feels expressive yet controlled, lending a cultivated, humane character rather than a sharp or modern one.
The font appears intended as a conventional text companion italic: readable at paragraph sizes, stylistically traditional, and shaped to provide elegant emphasis while remaining calm and consistent in continuous text.
The design maintains a consistent slant and spacing that produces a steady line texture in the sample text. The italic forms are clearly drawn rather than mechanically slanted, with noticeable stroke modulation and confident, classic proportions across caps, lowercase, and figures.
