A conventional text serif with an italic construction and flowing, calligraphic stroke movement. Serifs are bracketed and softly tapered, with moderate stroke modulation that stays even and readable rather than dramatic. The italic slant is consistent across capitals and lowercase, producing a smooth rhythm, while round letters show gently ovalized bowls and open apertures. Terminals often finish with subtle teardrop or hooked forms (notably in letters like a, f, j, y), and numerals follow the same angled, serifed logic for a cohesive texture in mixed text.
Well-suited to book and long-form editorial typography where a classical italic is needed for emphasis, quotations, or titles within text. It also fits refined print pieces such as programs, invitations, and cultural materials that benefit from a traditional serif voice and a composed, readable slant.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, suggesting the voice of printed books, editorial pages, and established institutions. Its italic energy feels expressive but controlled, giving text a polished, cultivated character rather than a casual one.
Designed to provide a dependable, traditional italic companion for text settings, balancing calligraphic liveliness with conservative proportions and steady readability. The aim appears to be a familiar, bookish texture that remains versatile across paragraphs and display-like emphasis.
Capitals read with a dignified, slightly expansive presence, while the lowercase maintains a steady, text-oriented color with clear differentiation between similar shapes. The italic forms avoid extreme swashes, keeping the design practical for continuous reading while still conveying a handwritten warmth.
