An italic serif with a smooth, calligraphic construction and clear diagonal stress. Serifs are bracketed and taper into sharp, slightly hooked terminals, giving strokes a lively, drawn quality rather than a rigid mechanical feel. Curves are generous and well-rounded, with moderately open counters and a consistent, readable rhythm across mixed-case text. Uppercase forms are gently slanted and slightly formal, while the lowercase shows more movement in entries and exits, supporting continuous reading.
Well-suited for long-form italics in books and editorial layouts, including emphasis, quotations, captions, and sidebars. It can also serve effectively for elegant headlines or title treatments where a classic italic voice is desired, especially in print-oriented or tradition-forward branding.
The overall tone is traditional and cultured, with an editorial polish that reads as bookish and refined. Its italic energy feels expressive without becoming flamboyant, lending a poised, persuasive voice suited to nuanced emphasis.
Designed to deliver a conventional, highly readable italic companion with a slightly calligraphic edge, aiming for a calm, authoritative texture in continuous text while still providing expressive emphasis when used at display sizes.
Figures appear slanted to match the text, with clear differentiation and smooth curves that keep numerals legible in running copy. The italic angle is steady across the set, and spacing feels balanced in the sample text, maintaining an even texture at larger paragraph sizes.
