A slanted serif with moderate stroke modulation and a smooth, calligraphic rhythm. The letterforms show bracketed serifs, tapered joins, and gently swelling curves that keep counters open and legible. Capitals are stately with slightly flared strokes and clean, angled terminals, while the lowercase is compact and fluid, with a two-storey “a” and a single-storey “g” that lean into an editorial, text-forward texture. Numerals appear oldstyle, with varying heights and descenders that align naturally with running text.
Well suited to editorial typography where italics are used frequently, such as books, magazines, essays, and scholarly or cultural content. It also works effectively for refined emphasis in pull quotes, captions, and introductions where a classic serif italic voice is desired.
The overall tone is bookish and traditional, projecting a composed, cultivated voice. Its italic movement feels purposeful rather than decorative, lending emphasis with a quiet elegance suited to long-form reading and formal messaging.
Designed to provide a conventional, readable italic companion for text, combining traditional serif structure with a mild calligraphic influence. The goal appears to be reliable emphasis and a polished literary tone while maintaining clarity at paragraph sizes.
The slant is consistent across cases, and spacing feels even in the sample text, producing a steady line color. Delicate details—like the pointed italics of “v/w” and the sweeping descenders—add character without turning into display ornamentation.
