A traditional italic serif with moderate slant and a calligraphic, old-style construction. Strokes show a gently modulated contrast with oblique stress, and serifs are bracketed and smoothly integrated into the stems. Terminals frequently finish in tapered, teardrop-like shapes, giving the lowercase a fluid, pen-driven rhythm. Uppercase forms remain dignified and stable while still echoing the italic movement, and overall spacing feels text-oriented rather than tightly compact.
Works well for extended reading in books and editorial layouts, particularly for emphasis, quotations, captions, and other secondary text where an italic companion is needed. It can also serve in subheads or pull quotes when a classic, literary tone is desired.
The tone is classic and bookish, with a refined, editorial feel. Its italic voice reads expressive without becoming decorative, suggesting formality and polish suited to conventional typography.
The design appears intended as a conventional text italic that balances readability with a distinctly calligraphic texture. It aims to provide a familiar, historically grounded serif voice suitable for continuous composition and typographic hierarchy.
The lowercase shows lively entry/exit strokes and softly rounded joins that keep long passages readable while adding a subtle flourish. Numerals follow the same italic logic, leaning with the text and maintaining an even, traditional color on the page.
