A slanted serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and moderate stroke modulation that reads clearly at text sizes. The shapes show an oldstyle influence: round letters have gently oblique stress, counters stay fairly open, and terminals often finish in tapered, calligraphic endings. Uppercase forms are sturdy and traditional, while the lowercase is more rhythmic and fluid, with noticeable entry/exit strokes that enhance forward movement. Numerals follow the italic angle and feel integrated with the letterforms rather than purely mechanical.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and editorial layouts where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotes, or titles. It also works for refined print collateral—programs, invitations, and formal announcements—where a traditional serif italic can add warmth and sophistication.
The overall tone is classical and literary, with a poised, slightly handwritten energy. It suggests formality and tradition without feeling stiff, making it suitable for elegant, narrative-driven typography.
Designed to provide a conventional text-serif italic that combines classical proportions with a lively, calligraphic slant for readable, elegant emphasis in running text and display accents.
Spacing and rhythm favor continuous reading, with consistent slant and a balanced mix of sharp and rounded details. The italic construction feels intentionally text-oriented, keeping curves generous and joins smooth to preserve legibility in paragraphs.
