This italic serif shows a calligraphic, oldstyle construction with gently bracketed serifs and tapered stroke endings. The slant is moderate and consistent, with smooth, continuous curves and a slightly organic rhythm that keeps forms from feeling mechanical. Contrast is noticeable but not sharp, giving the letters a steady texture in text while still allowing elegant thick–thin modulation in larger sizes. Round letters are softly ovalized, terminals often finish with subtle hooks or teardrop-like shapes, and spacing reads open enough for continuous reading without looking airy.
Well-suited for editorial and long-form typography where an italic is needed for emphasis, titles, or quotations while maintaining a classical serif texture. It can also support refined print and digital reading environments such as magazines, essays, and literary branding where a conventional italic serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, with an educated, editorial feel that suggests established print typography. Its italic voice feels expressive yet restrained—more refined emphasis than flamboyant script—making it suitable for nuanced, cultured messaging.
The design appears intended as a dependable, conventional italic companion for serif text, prioritizing readability and typographic tradition while retaining a touch of calligraphic warmth in its terminals and stress.
Capitals are poised and slightly monumental in proportion, while the lowercase carries most of the movement through angled stress and lively terminals. Numerals lean with the same slant and maintain clear, familiar forms, supporting straightforward use alongside text.
