A traditional serif italic with a moderate rightward slant and softly bracketed serifs. Strokes show gentle modulation and an oblique stress, with rounded joins and slightly tapered terminals that keep the texture smooth and readable. Proportions are fairly classic: capitals are sturdy and open, while lowercase forms are compact with flowing entry/exit strokes and a moderately sized x-height. Numerals appear oldstyle, sitting with varied heights and curved forms that blend naturally with the lowercase rhythm.
Well-suited for body text and editorial settings where a classic italic is needed for emphasis, quotations, or titles within a typographic system. It can also support refined branding, invitations, and cultural or academic communications that benefit from a traditional serif voice.
The overall tone feels bookish and cultivated, with a calm, established voice rather than a sharp or high-fashion one. Its italic is expressive without becoming decorative, suggesting tradition, clarity, and a subtle human touch.
Likely designed as a dependable, conventional text serif italic that provides comfortable reading texture and a familiar literary character. The emphasis appears to be on balanced proportions and smooth rhythm for sustained use rather than display-driven quirks.
Curves are generous and counters stay open, which helps maintain legibility in continuous text. The italic construction reads like a true text italic (not merely slanted roman), with a noticeable cursive movement in letters such as a, f, g, and y.
