A strongly slanted serif with sturdy, compact letterforms and pronounced, bracketed wedge serifs. Strokes show a clear, oldstyle-like modulation with rounded joins and softened terminals, including occasional teardrop/ball-like finishing on lowercase forms. The capitals are broad and weighty with stable verticals, while the lowercase has a slightly lively, calligraphic rhythm and a relatively even, readable texture. Numerals are robust and traditional in feel, matching the serif detailing and overall forward-leaning movement.
Well-suited for editorial typography where a strong italic voice is needed, such as magazine features, pull quotes, and book matter. It can also work for traditional branding and packaging that benefits from a classic serif with energetic slant, and for short headlines or subheads where its dark color and distinctive terminals can be appreciated.
The font conveys a classic, bookish tone with a confident, formal presence. Its italic energy adds a spirited, rhetorical quality, suggesting tradition and authority rather than minimalism or neutrality.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with a sturdy, emphatic presence and traditional details. It prioritizes a readable, continuous rhythm while adding character through pronounced serifs and subtly calligraphic terminals.
Spacing appears generous enough for text while preserving a dense, dark page color; the italic angle is consistent and gives lines a continuous forward motion. The serif treatment stays cohesive across cases, helping the alphabet and figures read as a unified, conventional text family with a slightly expressive, vintage-leaning italic voice.
