This italic serif shows a traditional, bookish construction with bracketed serifs and moderate stroke modulation. Curves are smooth and slightly compressed by the slant, while verticals and diagonals keep crisp terminals and clean joins. The lowercase is compact and rhythmic, with clearly defined counters and a steady baseline; the italic forms read as true italics rather than simply slanted romans. Numerals and capitals maintain a consistent weight and a refined, print-oriented finish.
Well-suited to long-form reading and editorial typography where a traditional italic is needed for emphasis, citations, or secondary hierarchy. It can also serve in refined display contexts—titles, pull quotes, and formal stationery—where a classic serif voice is desired.
Overall it conveys a classic, literary tone—polished and conventional, with a quiet elegance. The italic energy adds a sense of motion and emphasis that feels editorial and cultivated rather than decorative.
The design appears intended as a conventional, high-legibility italic companion for text typography, prioritizing familiar proportions, steady rhythm, and a composed, print-classic character.
The shapes lean on familiar oldstyle-inspired proportions, balancing compact letters with open enough counters to stay clear at text sizes. The italic slant is noticeable but controlled, supporting emphasis without becoming overly expressive.
