A robust italic serif with bracketed serifs, rounded joins, and a clearly calligraphic stroke rhythm. The letterforms lean consistently with energetic, slightly tapered terminals and a smooth, continuous flow from thick to thin. Counters are generous and softly shaped, while capitals are sturdy and compact with pronounced serif feet. Lowercase forms show oldstyle influence, including a single-storey “a” and “g,” a gently curved “f,” and a long, active entry/exit structure that keeps lines cohesive.
Well-suited to editorial headlines and decks where a strong italic voice is needed, and it can also support short-to-medium passages in books, magazines, and long-form articles. The weight and movement make it a good choice for branding accents, packaging copy, pull quotes, and introductory text where emphasis and character are desired.
The overall tone feels classic and editorial, projecting authority without becoming severe. Its italic forms read expressive and literary, suggesting tradition, craft, and a confident voice appropriate for established brands and publishing contexts.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with a distinctly expressive italic, balancing readability with a traditional, crafted feel. Its sturdy construction and consistent slant suggest it was drawn to deliver a strong typographic color while maintaining familiar, book-oriented proportions.
Spacing appears comfortable and text color is strong, giving paragraphs a dark, even presence. Figures follow the same italicized, serifed construction, integrating smoothly into running text and display settings.
