A lively italic serif with bracketed serifs and a gently calligraphic construction. Strokes show moderate contrast and an oblique stress, with smooth curves and subtly tapered terminals that keep the texture fluid in continuous reading. The proportions are classical and slightly compact in the lowercase, with balanced ascenders/descenders and open interior spaces that prevent the italic from feeling overly tight. Numerals follow an oldstyle, text-oriented rhythm, blending comfortably with lowercase in running copy.
Well-suited for editorial typography where italic is used for emphasis, quotations, names, or foreign words. It also fits book interiors, magazine features, and literary titling where a classic italic voice is needed without sacrificing readability at text sizes.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, with a refined warmth typical of editorial italics. It feels polished and familiar rather than experimental, lending a sense of credibility and cultivated sophistication.
Designed to provide a conventional, text-first italic companion with a classic serif feel—capable of carrying long passages while still offering expressive emphasis through calligraphic motion and traditional detailing.
The italic angle is noticeable but controlled, and the letterforms maintain steady rhythm across words. Curved characters and joins are softened, producing a smooth line of text that reads as intentional emphasis rather than decorative script.
