A conventional serif italic with bracketed serifs and a steady, readable rhythm. Strokes show moderate thick–thin modulation, with pointed terminals and gently tapered entry/exit strokes that keep the texture crisp at text sizes. Capitals are slightly compact with firm serifs and a subtle forward slant, while the lowercase features single-storey a and g, teardrop-like dots, and gently curved stems that give the italic a continuous flow. Numerals follow the same oblique, serifed construction, maintaining consistent color alongside the text.
Well suited to running text where an italic is needed for emphasis, citations, introductions, or captions. It should perform comfortably in editorial layouts, book typography, and long-form reading contexts, and can also serve for refined headings when a traditional italic voice is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, conveying an educated, dependable voice with a touch of elegance. Its italic manner feels purposeful rather than decorative, suggesting emphasis, quotation, and editorial nuance more than exuberant display.
Designed as a workhorse serif italic for conventional text typography, balancing familiar book forms with enough stroke modulation and terminal shaping to feel polished and articulate.
The italic forms read relatively calligraphic in the lowercase, with smooth joins and modest swash-like terminals on letters such as f, j, and y. The spacing and contours support continuous word shapes, producing a cohesive paragraph texture without looking overly mannered.
