A robust italic serif with strongly bracketed serifs, rounded joins, and a pronounced forward slant. Strokes show moderate contrast, with thickened diagonals and smoothly tapered terminals that keep the heavy weight from feeling blunt. The letterforms are generously proportioned with open counters and a steady baseline rhythm; curves are full and slightly tensioned, giving capitals a sculpted, traditional feel. Lowercase forms lean into calligraphic cues—especially in the two-storey a and the looping descenders—while figures and capitals maintain a sturdy, display-friendly presence.
Well-suited to headlines, standfirsts, and pull quotes where a strong italic voice is needed. It also fits book and magazine design, period-inspired branding, and packaging that benefits from a traditional serif with extra movement and emphasis.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, suggesting tradition, authority, and a touch of flourish. Its italic energy reads expressive rather than delicate, making it feel confident and slightly theatrical while still grounded in conventional book typography.
The design appears intended to provide a bold, readable italic companion for editorial and display settings, combining conventional serif structure with calligraphic liveliness for emphasis and personality.
Several characters show gently swashed behavior and curved finishing strokes, adding motion in longer passages without turning into a script. The spacing appears comfortable for setting short paragraphs, though the bold mass and lively italic shapes keep it visually assertive even at text sizes.
