A conventional serif italic with bracketed serifs, moderate stroke contrast, and a clear diagonal stress. The capitals are slightly narrow with firm, wedge-like terminals and steady, even color. Lowercase forms show a flowing italic construction with pronounced entry/exit strokes, compact apertures, and a single-story a and g; the overall rhythm is lively but controlled. Numerals follow the same italic slant and contrast, with oldstyle-like curvature and confident terminals that keep the set cohesive.
Well-suited for book and long-form editorial typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, citations, or secondary hierarchy. It can also serve effectively in magazine layouts, pull quotes, and refined branding that benefits from a classic serif italic character.
The tone is traditional and literary, suggesting classic publishing and academic settings. Its italic movement feels expressive without becoming decorative, giving text a sense of emphasis, sophistication, and authority.
Designed to provide a dependable, readable italic companion with traditional serif detailing and a controlled, text-oriented contrast. The emphasis appears to be on familiar proportions and a polished rhythm that supports sustained reading and clear typographic hierarchy.
The slant is consistent across cases and figures, and the spacing appears balanced for continuous reading. Curved forms (c, e, o) feel round and stable, while diagonals (v, w, x, y) add energy through sharp joins and tapered endings.
