A classic italic serif with softly bracketed serifs, tapered terminals, and moderate stroke modulation. The forms show a consistent rightward slant and a fluid, pen-influenced rhythm, with rounded joins and gently swelling curves. Capitals are stately and open, while the lowercase leans toward oldstyle construction with a single-storey italic “a,” a looping “g,” and a descending “f” and “j.” Numerals are slanted to match, with readable, traditionally proportioned figures and calm spacing that supports continuous text.
Well-suited for long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, especially for emphasis, quotations, and secondary typographic voices. It can also serve in formal communications and literary branding where a conventional, trustworthy italic serif is desired.
The overall tone feels literary and traditional, with a refined, slightly calligraphic warmth rather than a sharp, modern edge. It reads as composed and academic, suitable for conveying credibility and a sense of established craft.
The design appears intended as a conventional text italic that balances classical proportions with smooth, calligraphic motion. Its goal seems to be providing an elegant, readable italic companion for sustained composition rather than a decorative display italic.
The italic is expressive without becoming flamboyant: entry/exit strokes are present but controlled, and counters remain open enough for comfortable reading. The design maintains a steady texture across the alphabet, producing an even color in paragraph settings while still offering distinct italic character.
