A traditional italic serif with gently bracketed serifs and a consistent rightward slant. Strokes show moderate contrast with softly tapered terminals, giving the outlines a fluid, pen-like rhythm without becoming overly delicate. The capitals are broad and steady, while the lowercase is more lively and compact, with rounded bowls and clearly differentiated forms; the overall texture reads smooth and continuous in paragraph settings. Numerals follow the same italic logic, with open curves and softly finished ends that blend naturally into running text.
Well suited for book and editorial typography where an italic is needed for emphasis, quotations, or secondary hierarchy. It also fits magazine features, essays, and literary titling that benefit from a classic, polished serif texture without feeling overly ornate.
The tone is classical and literary, suggesting established publishing and refined, cultured communication. Its italic voice feels expressive but disciplined, conveying elegance and tradition rather than flamboyance.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable text italic that supports extended reading while providing a graceful, traditional accent for emphasis and hierarchy within serif-based layouts.
The italic construction emphasizes diagonal stress and flowing joins, producing an even “color” across lines and a comfortable reading cadence. Letterforms maintain a conservative, familiar silhouette, prioritizing clarity and continuity in longer passages.
