A serif italic with moderate stroke contrast and a steady, bookish rhythm. The letterforms show bracketed serifs and a pronounced rightward slant, with smooth, calligraphic modulation and tapered entry/exit strokes. Uppercase proportions are relatively classical, with crisp wedge-like serifs and slightly triangular terminals on diagonals, while the lowercase maintains an even, readable x-height and gently varied widths that create a lively texture. Numerals appear oldstyle, aligning with the text color and sloping italic axis rather than standing upright.
Well-suited to extended reading contexts such as books, magazines, and editorial layouts where an italic is needed for emphasis, quotations, and titles within text. It would also work effectively in formal communications and cultured branding where a classic serif italic texture is desirable.
The overall tone feels traditional and literary, suggesting careful, editorial typography rather than display flash. Its italic voice is expressive but controlled, conveying refinement, scholarship, and a sense of established credibility.
Designed to provide a conventional, readable italic companion with a traditional serif palette, emphasizing comfortable text flow and a familiar editorial tone. The use of oldstyle numerals and calligraphic modulation reinforces a purpose rooted in continuous reading and typographic hierarchy rather than attention-grabbing display.
The italic construction is consistent across caps and lowercase, with lively curves in letters like g, y, and f and narrow joins that keep counters open in running text. Spacing appears tuned for paragraph setting, producing a cohesive gray value without looking rigid or mechanical.
