A conventional serif italic with a steady, moderate stroke modulation and a pronounced rightward slant. Serifs are bracketed and often wedge-like, with tapered terminals that suggest a calligraphic origin rather than mechanical construction. The rhythm is compact and slightly lively: bowls and arches lean forward, counters stay relatively tight, and joins are smooth, giving lines of text a continuous, flowing texture. Numerals follow the same italicized, old-style spirit with rounded forms and varying widths that keep the color organic in running text.
Well-suited for editorial typography where italic is used for emphasis, titles of works, or extended quotations, as well as book and magazine settings that need a classical companion to a roman text face. It can also work for refined subheads, pull quotes, and formal printed materials where a traditional italic voice is desirable.
The overall tone is literary and traditional, with a warm, cultivated feel typical of bookish italics. Its slant and tapered details add a gentle elegance and a sense of motion, making it feel more expressive than strictly utilitarian without becoming decorative.
Likely designed as a faithful, readable text italic: forward-leaning and expressive enough to signal emphasis, while keeping familiar serif construction and controlled contrast for comfortable reading. The compact proportions and tapered details aim to deliver a classic page texture with a modest, humanist liveliness.
In the sample text, the spacing and stroke endings create a slightly textured page color, especially in longer lines where the italic angle and varied character widths produce a natural, handwritten cadence. Capitals carry classical proportions and restrained flair, helping emphasis read as refined rather than loud.
