A classic italic serif with moderate stroke modulation and softly bracketed serifs. The letters show a steady rightward slant, rounded joins, and gently tapered terminals that hint at broad-nib calligraphy without becoming overly expressive. Proportions feel balanced with a normal x-height and open counters, while capitals remain sturdy and slightly wide, giving the face a stable, text-first rhythm. Numerals follow the same italicized, serifed construction, maintaining consistent weight and curvature across the set.
Well suited for long-form typography where an italic is needed for emphasis, titles, and quotations, such as books, essays, and magazine features. It can also serve as a primary italic for brand or institutional communications that want a conservative, classical feel.
The overall tone is bookish and traditional, projecting a cultivated, editorial voice. Its italic is confident and legible rather than decorative, suggesting emphasis, quotation, and refined narrative pacing.
Likely drawn to provide a dependable, traditional italic companion for text settings, prioritizing readability and typographic convention over novelty. The design aims for a familiar editorial texture with enough modulation and serif detail to feel refined on the page.
Curves are smooth and continuous, with a restrained, conventional italic skeleton in both roman-style capitals and more flowing lowercase forms. Spacing appears even in the sample text, supporting a cohesive line color that stays calm and readable at display and text sizes.
