A slanted serif with calligraphic construction and moderate stroke modulation. Serifs are crisp and mostly bracketed, with pointed, slightly wedge-like terminals that keep the rhythm lively rather than static. Curves show an oldstyle tendency with diagonal stress, while the italic angle is consistent and gives the lowercase a flowing, slightly cursive texture. Uppercase forms remain stately and open, pairing well with the more animated lowercase; figures follow the same slanted, serifed logic for a coherent color in running text.
Works well for continuous reading in books and long-form editorial layouts, especially where a true italic is needed for emphasis, quotations, or secondary hierarchy. It can also serve reliably for captions and notes, providing a refined tone while remaining legible at typical text sizes.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, suggesting bookish refinement rather than display theatrics. Its italic voice feels expressive and humanist, lending a warm, cultivated character appropriate for classic editorial settings.
Designed to deliver a classic, text-oriented serif italic with a distinctly calligraphic slant and traditional detailing, prioritizing readable rhythm and typographic emphasis in editorial and book contexts.
Spacing appears comfortable and text-focused, producing an even typographic color in the sample paragraph while preserving distinctive italic shapes. The glyphs show subtle, sharp detailing at joins and terminals that adds crispness without pushing into high-contrast fashion territory.
