A conventional italic serif with moderate stroke contrast and an even, text-oriented rhythm. Serifs are bracketed and smoothly joined, with slightly flared terminals and a continuous, calligraphic flow through curves and joins. The capitals are gently slanted and relatively open, while the lowercase shows lively, handwritten-influenced shapes with clear ascenders/descenders and restrained, readable counters. Numerals follow the same italic construction, with round forms and tapered strokes that keep the color consistent in paragraphs.
Well suited for book and long-form editorial settings where an italic is needed for emphasis, titles, and quotations. It can also work effectively in magazine layouts, academic material, and refined print pieces where a traditional italic serif texture is desirable.
The overall tone is classical and literary, suggesting traditional publishing and editorial typography. Its italic voice feels polished rather than flamboyant, delivering emphasis with elegance and restraint.
Designed to provide a dependable, conventional italic companion for text serif typography, balancing calligraphic character with disciplined proportions for comfortable reading. The intent appears focused on graceful emphasis in continuous text rather than display theatrics.
The slant is steady across cases, and the italic construction reads as a true italic rather than an oblique. Curves are softly modeled and the stroke endings avoid sharp, abrupt cuts, helping longer text keep a smooth, continuous texture.
