A conventional italic serif with flowing, calligraphic construction and softly bracketed serifs. Strokes show moderate contrast and a clear diagonal stress, with tapered terminals and gently flared joins that keep the texture lively rather than rigid. The capitals are slightly narrow and dignified, while the lowercase has a readable, bookish rhythm with rounded bowls, angled entry/exit strokes, and a modest x-height. Numerals follow the same italic slant and tapering, keeping a cohesive, text-oriented color across mixed content.
Well suited to long-form reading contexts such as books, magazines, and editorial layouts, where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or running text. It can also serve in formal invitations or cultural programming where a traditional, refined tone is desired without becoming overly decorative.
The overall tone feels literary and classical, suggesting editorial polish rather than display exuberance. Its slanted, hand-influenced shapes add warmth and motion, giving paragraphs an elegant, cultivated voice.
The design appears intended as a dependable, classic italic for text typography—prioritizing comfortable rhythm, familiar proportions, and a historically informed serif vocabulary while maintaining enough contrast and slant to signal emphasis clearly in paragraph settings.
The italic angle is pronounced enough to read clearly as an italic in isolation, and the spacing appears balanced for continuous reading. Curved characters show smooth modulation, and the serifs remain understated, supporting a calm page color.
