This italic serif has a traditional, oldstyle construction with softly bracketed serifs and moderate stroke modulation. The forms lean with a smooth, continuous rhythm and show gently tapered terminals rather than blunt cuts. Curves are full and rounded, with open counters and a slightly calligraphic flow in the lowercase; the italic ‘a’ and ‘g’ are single-storey and the overall texture stays even across words. Capitals are stately and slightly narrower in feel than the lowercase, keeping a composed headline presence without becoming rigid.
It suits long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or secondary text. The composed capitals and polished modulation also make it a good fit for literary titles, cultural programs, and premium packaging that calls for a classical typographic tone.
The tone is bookish and cultivated, balancing formality with a human, handwritten undercurrent typical of classic italic text faces. It reads as refined and traditional, suitable for conveying heritage, credibility, and a measured elegance rather than a contemporary or technical mood.
The design appears intended as a conventional text italic that complements roman book serifs, prioritizing steady readability and a graceful, traditional cadence. Its details suggest an aim to deliver a familiar, authoritative texture while retaining enough calligraphic character to feel warm and expressive in continuous text.
Numerals follow the same italic movement and serif detailing, integrating naturally into running text. Letterfit appears comfortable for paragraph settings, producing a smooth typographic color with clear word shapes.
