A conventional italic serif with compact proportions and a steady, moderately modulated stroke. Serifs are bracketed and relatively crisp, with pointed terminals and a slight wedge-like feel on some strokes. The italic angle is consistent and the letterforms lean on classical serif construction, with rounded bowls and clear entry/exit strokes that create a smooth reading rhythm. Numerals follow the same italic slant and serifed structure, maintaining a cohesive texture across text and figures.
Well-suited for book and long-form editorial italics such as emphasis, titles, quotations, and citations. It can also work for refined subheads, pull quotes, and formal collateral where a classic italic serif tone is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, with a composed, editorial voice. Its slanted forms add a sense of motion and emphasis without becoming decorative, keeping the impression serious and established.
Likely designed as a practical, traditional italic that supports continuous reading and familiar typography conventions. The goal appears to be a dependable, classical texture with restrained elegance rather than showy calligraphic drama.
In text, the face builds an even, bookish color with enough contrast to feel refined while still holding together at reading sizes. The shapes favor clarity over flourish, making the italic feel like a functional companion style rather than a display-only script.
