A conventional italic serif with moderate contrast and a steady, bookish rhythm. The letterforms lean with a smooth, calligraphic flow, combining crisp wedge-like serifs and bracketed joins with clean, tapered stroke endings. Counters are open and proportions feel balanced, with a slightly lively, varied stroke texture that reads clearly at text sizes while still showing distinct italic character in curved forms and terminals.
Well suited for long-form reading contexts such as books, journals, and magazine features, especially for italic roles like emphasis, quotations, and sidebars. It also fits formal invitations or cultural materials where a traditional serif italic is expected.
The overall tone is classic and literary, suggesting editorial polish rather than display theatrics. Its italic angle and sharpened serif details give it a cultured, slightly formal voice suited to traditional typography.
Likely drawn as a dependable, conventional text italic: to provide fluent emphasis within serif typography while preserving readability and a composed, traditional page color.
Curves and diagonals show a consistent, controlled slant, with pointed entries and exits that add brightness to the texture. Numerals follow the same italic posture and contrast, keeping a coherent color across mixed text and figures.
