A slanted serif with classic proportions and a clearly calligraphic stroke logic. The letterforms show tapered strokes and crisp, bracketed serifs, with moderately open counters and a gently modulated rhythm that reads smoothly in text. Uppercase forms feel stately and slightly narrow, while the lowercase shows lively entry/exit strokes and a rounded, softly angled terminal treatment. Numerals share the same oblique axis and serifed finish, keeping the texture consistent across mixed copy.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where an italic with traditional serif detailing is needed for emphasis or primary setting. It can also work in refined pull quotes, headings, and front matter where a graceful, classical tone supports the content.
The overall tone is traditional and cultured, with a refined, bookish presence. Its italic energy adds motion and elegance, lending a formal voice without becoming ornate or display-only.
Designed to provide a conventional, text-oriented serif italic that feels rooted in classic publishing, combining readable proportions with a lively, calligraphic slant for emphasis and elegance in running text.
The italic construction is pronounced, with noticeable curvature in key letters and a cohesive, right-leaning flow across words. Spacing appears balanced for continuous reading, producing an even typographic color in the sample text while still retaining a handwritten sensibility in the lowercase shapes.
