A conventional serif with a consistent italic slant and softly bracketed serifs. Strokes show moderate thick–thin modulation, with smooth, calligraphic joins and rounded terminals that keep the texture even in longer settings. Proportions lean generously wide, with open counters and a steady baseline rhythm; the capitals feel sturdy and slightly expansive, while the lowercase maintains a balanced, readable x-height. Numerals match the italic tone and weight, sitting confidently without becoming overly decorative.
Well suited to editorial typography, book interiors, and magazine features where an italic voice is needed for sustained passages, quotations, or emphasis. The wide, open forms also make it a strong choice for pull quotes and display lines that want a traditional serif character without looking overly ornate.
The overall tone is classic and literary, projecting a composed, editorial voice. Its italic energy feels traditional rather than flamboyant—suggesting refinement, narrative emphasis, and a slightly old-world warmth suitable for serious reading contexts.
Designed to deliver a familiar, readable serif texture in a disciplined italic style, balancing calligraphic movement with conventional text-serifs. The intention appears to be dependable typographic voice for narrative and editorial use, with enough elegance to handle headings and highlighted phrases gracefully.
In text, the face builds a calm, continuous color with clear word shapes and smooth letterflow, aided by the open forms and restrained contrast. The italic is expressive enough for emphasis and titling while remaining structured and conventional in its detailing.
