A classic italic serif with moderately bracketed serifs and a steady, medium-contrast stroke. The letterforms show an oblique axis and a gentle rightward slant, with crisp wedge-like finishing on many terminals and a slightly calligraphic rhythm. Proportions feel traditional rather than condensed, with open counters and a clear baseline flow; numerals follow the same italic cadence and maintain consistent weight and contrast with the text.
Well suited for book and long-form editorial settings where an italic companion is needed for emphasis, citations, and titles. It also performs nicely in magazines, pull quotes, and refined branding applications that want a classic serif italic voice with clear, readable forms.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, with a refined, editorial voice. Its italic energy reads as formal and expressive without becoming decorative, suggesting emphasis, quotation, or literary styling rather than loud display.
Likely intended as a conventional, text-oriented italic that complements traditional serif typography. The design aims to deliver a fluent reading rhythm and a familiar, literary texture while retaining enough sharpness and contrast for polished editorial presentation.
Capital forms are sturdy and authoritative, while the lowercase keeps a smooth, continuous texture with noticeable entry/exit strokes typical of text italics. The design balances clarity with a slightly sharpened, print-like finish that helps maintain definition at larger text and titling sizes.
