A conventional serif italic with bracketed serifs and a moderately modulated stroke. The letters show a steady rightward slant and a humanist, calligraphic rhythm, with softly tapered terminals and diagonal stress evident in rounded forms like O and o. Proportions are balanced and text-oriented, with a normal x-height and clear differentiation between capitals and lowercase. Curves are smooth and open, counters are comfortably sized, and the overall texture reads even and continuous in paragraph settings.
Well-suited to book and editorial typography where an italic is needed for emphasis, quotations, captions, and inline hierarchy. It also fits magazine features and other longform reading contexts that benefit from a traditional serif italic with steady color and comfortable spacing.
The font conveys a classic, bookish tone with a refined, traditional voice. Its italic movement adds elegance and a sense of narrative emphasis rather than overt display, making it feel familiar and editorial.
Likely designed as a conventional text companion italic, prioritizing continuous rhythm and familiar serif detailing for extended reading. The moderate contrast and bracketed serifs suggest an aim for versatility and a classic typographic voice in print-like layouts.
Capitals retain a formal, restrained presence while still participating in the italic slant, and the lowercase keeps an oldstyle flavor in its forms and stress. Numerals appear italic as well and harmonize with the text, supporting continuous reading rather than standing apart as rigid, upright figures.
