A slanted serif with a gently calligraphic construction and consistent rightward motion. Strokes show noticeable but controlled contrast, with smooth transitions into bracketed serifs and tapered terminals that keep the texture light and even. Proportions feel traditional and text-oriented, with round, open bowls and moderate ascenders/descenders that create a calm line rhythm. Numerals and capitals maintain the same angled stress and crisp finishing, producing a cohesive, slightly formal page color.
Well-suited to long-form reading in books, journals, and editorial layouts, especially for emphasis, quotations, and intros. It can also serve refined applications like invitations and formal correspondence where an elegant italic voice is desired without sacrificing clarity.
The overall tone is classic and literary, suggesting editorial polish rather than display theatrics. Its italic rhythm reads as cultured and expressive, with a refined, slightly old-world character suited to narrative and academic contexts.
Designed to provide a conventional, highly readable serif italic with a touch of calligraphic warmth. The intent appears to be a dependable text companion that adds emphasis and sophistication while maintaining consistent rhythm and restraint.
The forms prioritize readability in continuous text: counters remain open, joins are not overly delicate, and the italic slant is steady without becoming cursive. The ampersand and the italic lowercase add a subtle flourish, while the capitals stay restrained and traditional.
