This is a conventional italic serif with flowing, calligraphic construction and moderate stroke modulation. Stems and diagonals show a clear rightward slant, with rounded joins and softly bracketed serifs that keep the texture continuous in text. Proportions are traditional and slightly compact, with a normal x-height and generous extenders; counters stay open and the rhythm remains even across mixed-case settings. Numerals follow the same italic, oldstyle-leaning logic, with curved forms and a consistent baseline presence.
It suits editorial typography where an italic needs to carry extended reading—book interiors, magazines, and long-form articles. It will also perform well for quotations, subheads, and captions where a traditional italic texture and controlled contrast are desirable.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, suggesting a familiar editorial voice rather than a display-forward personality. Its italic energy reads polished and cultured, with a gentle warmth that feels established and trustworthy.
The design appears intended as a classic text companion italic: readable, historically informed, and versatile in continuous prose. It prioritizes smooth rhythm, familiar proportions, and understated refinement over decorative novelty.
Curved letters show a subtle diagonal stress and smooth terminal shaping, helping paragraphs keep a steady, readable color. The italic is assertive enough for emphasis while remaining restrained, avoiding sharp, high-contrast sparkle.
