A robust italic serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a noticeable calligraphic sweep. Strokes show gentle tapering and a slightly organic rhythm, with rounded joins and subtly swelling curves that keep counters open. The slant is consistent and fairly strong, and letterforms favor compact proportions with sturdy stems, producing dense, confident color in text. Numerals follow the same italic, serifed construction, with rounded bowls and firm terminals that match the text’s weight and cadence.
Well-suited to editorial settings such as magazines, books, and long-form articles where an italic voice needs to carry emphasis with clarity. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and subheads that benefit from a traditional serif presence and a strong italic rhythm.
The overall tone feels traditional and literary, with an old-style warmth that reads as established and trustworthy. Its energetic italic movement adds a touch of flourish without becoming ornamental, lending a dignified, editorial voice to headlines and longer passages alike.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic that balances readability with expressive, calligraphic motion. Its sturdy construction and controlled detailing suggest a focus on dependable text performance while providing a distinctive, classic italic character for emphasis and display.
Capitals present sturdy, classic silhouettes with restrained detailing, while lowercase forms show more movement through curved entry/exit strokes and lively terminals. The italic texture is even across lines, and the rounded punctuation and dot forms reinforce the soft, humanist feel.
