A conventional serif italic with bracketed serifs, tapered terminals, and a gently calligraphic stroke flow. The letters show moderate stroke modulation with smooth curves and rounded joins, giving the forms a soft, inked quality rather than a rigid, geometric feel. Proportions are comfortable for text, with open counters and a steady rhythm; capitals are sturdy and slightly broad, while lowercase shapes lean with subtle entry/exit strokes and modest, not overly long, extenders. Numerals follow the same italicized, old-style-inspired construction, blending naturally with running text.
Well suited to book typography and editorial layouts where an italic is needed for emphasis, quotations, captions, or secondary text. Its steady rhythm and moderate contrast make it appropriate for longer passages, while the lively terminals also allow it to perform in refined headings and pull quotes without feeling ornamental.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a composed formality that still feels approachable. Its italic voice reads as traditional and cultured, suggesting editorial polish and a hint of humanist warmth rather than sharp display drama.
Designed to provide a dependable, traditional serif italic that reads smoothly in text while preserving a clear, recognizable italic character. The intention appears focused on balanced readability and a familiar, book-oriented texture rather than a decorative or highly stylized statement.
Serifs and terminals appear softly bracketed, helping maintain smooth texture in paragraphs. The italic construction is consistent across upper- and lowercase, and the figures share the same cursive slant, supporting cohesive typographic color in mixed alphanumeric settings.
