A traditional italic serif with gently bracketed serifs and a calligraphic, humanist rhythm. Strokes show moderate contrast and diagonal stress, with softened joins and tapered terminals that keep the texture lively rather than rigid. The italic slant is clear but not extreme, and proportions feel bookish: capitals are stately with crisp serifs, while lowercase forms are fluid with compact bowls and slightly lively entry/exit strokes. Numerals align comfortably with the text color, maintaining the same moderate contrast and classic shaping.
Well-suited for long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, particularly where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, and citations. It can also work for refined invitations, programs, and academic materials where a classic serif tone supports credibility and tradition.
The overall tone is classical and literary, evoking printed book typography and editorial polish. Its italic voice feels expressive and warm, suitable for emphasis without becoming decorative, and it carries a quietly formal, established character.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, highly legible serif italic with a book-oriented texture—balancing calligraphic motion with disciplined proportions for comfortable continuous reading.
The sample text shows an even, readable paragraph color with consistent spacing and a steady baseline, while the italic details add motion in longer runs. Capital forms provide clear structure for headings and initials, and the lowercase maintains a cohesive, oldstyle feel with smooth curves and restrained sharpness.
