A traditional italic serif with moderate stroke modulation and smooth, calligraphic curvature. The capitals are slightly inclined with crisp, bracketed serifs and tapered terminals, while the lowercase shows a lively cursive rhythm with single-storey forms (notably the a and g) and gently varying widths across the set. Bowls are round and open, joins are clean, and the overall color stays even despite the italic slant, giving text a steady, readable texture. Numerals follow the same italic axis and serif detailing, with clear, old-style-influenced movement and balanced proportions.
Well-suited for long-form reading environments such as books, magazines, and editorial layouts where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or secondary hierarchy. It also works effectively in formal print materials—programs, invitations, and academic or literary settings—where a polished, traditional tone is desirable.
The tone is classically bookish and editorial, evoking literary tradition and formal correspondence. Its italic energy feels expressive without becoming decorative, lending a refined, cultivated voice suited to serious or elegant messaging.
Designed to provide a conventional, highly readable italic companion for text typography, balancing classical serif structure with genuine cursive motion. The intent appears focused on sustained paragraph use and typographic emphasis while keeping an even texture and restrained elegance.
The italic construction reads as true italic rather than a simple slant, with noticeable cursive shaping in key lowercase letters and a consistent diagonal stress. Serifs remain sharp and controlled, helping maintain clarity in continuous text while preserving a fluid, handwritten cadence.
