A traditional serif italic with bracketed wedges and softly tapered terminals. Strokes show moderate thick–thin modulation and a clear diagonal stress, producing a steady, bookish rhythm in text. Capitals are slightly more upright in presence but still slanted, with sharp, well-defined serifs and clean joins; the overall silhouette is compact and controlled rather than expansive. Lowercase forms are strongly cursive-leaning, with angled entry strokes and lively, slanted bowls that keep counters open and legible at text sizes.
Well-suited to book typography, magazines, and other editorial layouts where an italic companion is needed for emphasis, titles, or citations. It should perform especially well in continuous reading contexts, pull quotes, and formal communications that benefit from a conventional, credible serif texture.
The tone is classical and cultivated, suggesting literature, academia, and established editorial practice. Its italic voice reads as refined and persuasive—suited to emphasis and quotation—without becoming flamboyant or decorative.
The design appears intended as a dependable, conventional text serif italic: legible, moderately contrasted, and rhythmically even, prioritizing clarity and traditional tone over display eccentricity.
Figures are lining and italicized, matching the slant and modulation of the letters for cohesive running text. Round letters keep generous inner space, while sharper diagonals (such as in v/w/x/y) add crispness and forward motion.
