A conventional serif italic with moderate contrast and clearly bracketed, wedge-like serifs. The letterforms show a steady rightward slant and a calligraphic rhythm, with tapered strokes and slightly flared terminals that keep edges crisp without feeling sharp. Uppercase proportions are sturdy and slightly condensed in feel, while the lowercase maintains a balanced, readable x-height with compact counters and clean joins. Numerals follow the same italicized, tapered construction, keeping the set visually consistent in running text.
Well-suited for book and editorial settings where an italic is needed for emphasis, quotations, leads, or captions while maintaining a traditional text voice. It can also support identity work that benefits from a classic, established tone, especially in short display lines paired with a companion roman.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a polished, bookish demeanor. Its italic energy feels purposeful and formal rather than decorative, suggesting emphasis and elegance without excess flourish.
Likely designed as a dependable, conventional serif italic intended to read smoothly in continuous text while providing clear emphasis. The moderated contrast and bracketed serifs suggest an aim for versatility and familiarity rather than overt stylization.
The texture in paragraphs is even and controlled, with enough stroke modulation to create a refined typographic color. Curves and diagonals carry a gentle calligraphic tension, giving the face a lively but disciplined movement in longer lines.
