A traditional italic serif with gently bracketed serifs, tapered terminals, and a steady diagonal slant. Strokes show moderate contrast with smooth transitions, producing a calm, even texture in text. The letterforms are slightly calligraphic, with rounded joins and subtly flared endings; capitals are proportionally restrained rather than display-like. Numerals follow the same oblique, serifed construction, keeping the overall rhythm cohesive across text and figures.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, books, and long-form articles where an elegant italic is needed for emphasis. It also fits formal collateral—programs, invitations, and certificates—where a refined, classic tone is desired for headings, pull quotes, or short passages.
The font conveys a classic, literary tone—polished and composed rather than flashy. Its italic voice feels editorial and cultivated, suited to sophisticated reading environments and formal messaging.
The design appears intended as a conventional text italic that prioritizes readability and typographic polish. Its moderate contrast and traditional serif detailing suggest a focus on comfortable text color and an established, bookish aesthetic rather than experimental styling.
In running text the spacing and rhythm read as continuous and fluid, with an emphasis on graceful curves and tapered strokes. The italic forms maintain clarity while preserving a distinctly traditional serif character.
