A conventional serif italic with moderate stroke modulation and a gently calligraphic rhythm. The capitals are steady and upright in structure with bracketed serifs and subtly tapered strokes, while the lowercase leans with flowing joins and soft, teardrop-like terminals. Curves are broad and open, counters remain clear, and the overall color stays even, producing a composed text texture. Numerals appear oldstyle with ascenders and descenders that integrate naturally into running text.
It works well for extended reading in books and editorial layouts where an italic is needed for emphasis, citations, and secondary text. The steady texture and clear counters also make it appropriate for essays, program notes, and other literary or academic settings.
The font conveys a classic, literary tone—cultured and dependable rather than flashy. Its italic voice feels suited to traditional publishing, offering a sense of refinement and continuity associated with established book typography.
The design appears intended as a versatile, traditional serif italic for continuous text—providing emphasis without disrupting the overall page color and maintaining a classic publishing character.
Diagonal stress and tapered endings are consistently applied across letters, giving the italic a coherent, pen-influenced feel. The forms stay conservative and familiar, with a balanced mix of softness in curves and firmness in serif structure.
