A classic italic serif with flowing, calligraphic construction and gently modulated strokes. Serifs are bracketed and tapered, with a consistent diagonal axis that gives the forms a forward pull. Proportions feel traditional, with rounded bowls, open apertures, and a smooth rhythm across text; capitals are slightly more restrained and sculpted, while lowercase shows more cursive energy. Numerals appear oldstyle with ascenders/descenders, contributing to an organic, text-first texture.
Well suited to book typography, long-form editorial layouts, and magazine features where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotes, or nuanced hierarchy. It can also support refined branding—especially for institutions, cultural organizations, or premium goods—when a classic italic character is desired.
The overall tone is literary and cultivated, with an editorial polish rather than a display-forward attitude. Its italic movement reads as expressive and human, suggesting elegance and tradition without looking overly ornate. The effect is confident and formal, suited to content that benefits from a classic voice.
The design appears intended as a conventional, text-oriented italic that balances readability with traditional calligraphic expression. It aims to provide a dependable italic companion for continuous reading while adding a refined, literary tone to emphasis and display lines.
In running text the letterforms maintain a steady, even color, with enough stroke modulation to feel lively while staying calm and legible. The italic forms show a natural cursive influence (notably in the lowercase), creating a graceful cadence in words and lines.
