An italic serif with bracketed serifs and a gently calligraphic construction. Strokes show moderate contrast with rounded joins and tapered terminals, producing a smooth, continuous rhythm in text. Proportions feel traditional, with slightly narrow letterforms and clear diagonals; curves show a subtle diagonal stress. Numerals echo the same slanted, flowing treatment, and the overall color stays even without looking rigid or mechanical.
Well-suited for long-form reading in books and editorial layouts, especially for italics in running text, quotations, and emphasis. It also works for magazine features and academic or cultural publishing where a traditional serif voice is desired.
The tone is literary and classic, with a refined, bookish elegance. Its slant and soft stroke modulation add warmth and a sense of motion, suggesting formality without feeling cold or overly ornate.
Designed to provide a conventional, highly readable italic with classic serif manners and a gently handwritten cadence. The goal appears to be dependable text performance with an elevated, literary character for emphasis and continuous reading.
Lowercase forms lean toward oldstyle behavior, with lively ascenders/descenders and a single-story feel in several shapes, enhancing readability at text sizes. The italic is prominent enough for emphasis yet restrained, making it suitable as an accompanying italic in conventional serif typography.
