This serif italic shows a pronounced rightward slant with calligraphic modulation and smoothly bracketed serifs. Strokes taper into terminals, with moderate thick–thin contrast that stays even across the alphabet. Proportions feel traditional and slightly compact, with rounded bowls and softly angled joins that keep the texture continuous in text. The numerals follow the same italic rhythm, with curved forms and serifed endings that match the letterforms.
Well suited for editorial typography where an italic is used for emphasis, quotations, figure and caption text, or short headings that benefit from a classic tone. It should also work comfortably in longer passages when a traditional serif italic texture is desired, especially in print-like layouts.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a refined, bookish warmth rather than a sharp modern edge. Its italic stance reads expressive and courteous, suitable for emphasis and elegant narrative voice while remaining composed.
The design appears intended as a conventional, highly legible serif italic that prioritizes continuous reading rhythm and a traditional literary character. It aims to provide expressive emphasis within text while keeping details restrained and consistent.
In the sample text the spacing and stroke rhythm produce a steady, readable line with a distinctly traditional italic color. The forms lean toward oldstyle behavior—curved entry strokes, rounded counters, and gently flared terminals—giving emphasis without looking ornamental.
