A traditional italic serif with moderate contrast and a clear calligraphic slant. Strokes show gently bracketed serifs, tapered entry/exit strokes, and rounded joins that keep the texture smooth in continuous reading. The capitals are sturdy and slightly narrow with crisp, angled finishing, while the lowercase maintains a balanced, readable rhythm with open counters and a moderate x-height. Figures follow the italic flow, with curved forms and angled terminals that match the text’s overall movement.
Well suited to book and magazine typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or secondary hierarchy. It can also serve in refined branding and invitations where a classic serif italic is desired, and it performs especially well in longer passages thanks to its steady rhythm and moderate contrast.
The font conveys a classic, literary tone with an editorial polish. Its italic energy feels expressive without becoming flamboyant, suggesting sophistication, formality, and a quietly traditional voice.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable italic companion for serif text settings, emphasizing smooth flow and classic proportions. Its details aim to provide typographic emphasis with elegance and restraint rather than display drama.
The design maintains consistent diagonal emphasis across letters and numerals, producing a cohesive forward motion in text. Spacing appears even and the overall color stays steady, helping paragraphs look calm rather than spotty despite the italic angle.
