A traditional italic serif with a steady rightward slant and smooth, calligraphic modulation. The serifs are bracketed and gently tapered, with rounded joins and softly flared terminals that keep the texture continuous in longer lines. Capitals are broad and stable with understated entry strokes, while lowercase forms show flowing italic construction with single-story shapes (notably the a and g) and a moderate x-height. Numerals appear oldstyle in proportion, with varying heights and extenders that align naturally with running text rather than rigid lining figures.
Well suited for book and long-form editorial settings as an italic companion for emphasis, quotations, and titles within a text family. It can also work for formal printed pieces such as programs or invitations where a traditional, cultivated italic is appropriate.
The overall tone is classic and literary, evoking editorial and book typography rather than display flash. Its italic rhythm feels poised and formal, with a warm, humanist softness that reads as established and trustworthy.
The design appears intended as a conventional, comfortable reading italic: a measured slant, controlled contrast, and familiar serif detailing aimed at maintaining a smooth text color while providing clear emphasis.
Stroke endings tend to be rounded and slightly cupped, and counters stay open enough to avoid dark spots at text sizes. The italic emphasis is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, creating a cohesive voice for continuous reading and typographic hierarchy.
