A serif italic with sturdy, bracketed serifs and a clear calligraphic construction. Strokes show moderate contrast, with firm verticals and tapered joins that keep counters open even at heavier text sizes. The italic slant is consistent and slightly lively, with rounded, ball-like terminals appearing in several letters and a generally soft, ink-trap-free finish. Uppercase forms feel broad and stable, while the lowercase has a flowing rhythm and varied letter widths that create a natural, text-oriented texture.
Well suited to editorial layouts, book typography, and long-form reading where an italic is needed for emphasis, titles, or quotations. The robust color and clear serif structure also make it effective for magazine-style headlines and subheads, as well as classic branding applications that want a traditional, authoritative voice.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, evoking established book typography and editorial voice. Its confident weight and energetic italic give it a persuasive, emphatic character without becoming flamboyant. The feel is refined and familiar, suited to contexts where credibility and readability are both important.
Designed to deliver a classic text-serif italic that reads smoothly while providing strong emphasis. The combination of sturdy serifs, moderate contrast, and flowing italic rhythm suggests an intention to bridge formal typography with a subtly handwritten energy for versatile editorial use.
Numerals appear oldstyle (ranging with ascenders and descenders), helping the face blend smoothly into running text. The lowercase shows pronounced italic forms with single-storey shapes and curved entry/exit strokes, contributing to a continuous, handwritten-like movement across words. Capital forms retain a more engraved, formal presence, balancing the more cursive lowercase.
