A text-oriented serif italic with an oldstyle skeleton and gently tapered strokes. Serifs are bracketed and relatively fine, with a smooth transition into stems and a slightly calligraphic, pen-led modulation. The italic slant is moderate and consistent, with rounded forms staying open and readable; terminals often finish in soft, angled cuts rather than blunt endings. Capitals feel dignified and steady, while the lowercase shows a flowing rhythm and a slightly lively baseline texture typical of book italics.
Well-suited to book and editorial typography where an italic is needed for emphasis, titles within text, or quoted passages. It should also perform nicely in captions, pull quotes, and other supporting roles where a classic serif italic texture is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, suggesting refinement and quiet authority rather than display theatrics. Its italic voice reads as courteous and expressive, suitable for emphasis without becoming flamboyant.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable serif italic that complements roman text in serious publishing contexts. Its aim is to deliver a familiar oldstyle flavor and graceful emphasis while preserving clarity at typical reading sizes.
Numerals appear proportional and italicized, aligning with the text color rather than standing as rigid lining figures. The design maintains a balanced, even rhythm in continuous text, with enough stroke modulation to add character while keeping counters and joins clean.
