A conventional italic serif with bracketed wedges and a steady, moderately contrasty stroke. The letters show a clear rightward slant with gently tapered terminals and crisp, triangular serifs that feel cut rather than blunt. Proportions are traditional and text-oriented, with round forms that carry an angled stress and open interior counters, and a lively rhythm driven by slightly varied widths and the italic entry/exit strokes. Numerals and capitals maintain the same disciplined construction, with sturdy verticals and clean curves that stay legible at reading sizes.
Well-suited for long-form reading contexts where italic is needed for emphasis, titles, or foreign words, such as books, magazines, and academic layouts. It also works effectively for pull quotes and refined headings where a traditional italic serif texture is desirable without becoming overly ornamental.
The overall tone is classic and literary, evoking book typography and editorial publishing. Its italic voice feels purposeful rather than decorative—suggesting emphasis, quotation, or refined formality—while remaining approachable and readable.
The design appears intended as a dependable, traditional text italic that integrates smoothly into classic serif typography. It prioritizes a coherent page color, clear word shapes, and familiar serif detailing for professional editorial use.
The italic construction reads as a true italic rather than a simple oblique, with more calligraphic shaping in curves and joins. Serifs are consistently sharp and bracketed, helping maintain a crisp texture in continuous text while keeping counters and apertures fairly open.
