A robust italic serif with bracketed, triangular serifs and a distinctly calligraphic, right-leaning rhythm. Strokes show moderate contrast with swelling curves and crisp terminals, producing strong color on the page. The proportions are generously set with broad capitals and open counters, while the lowercase maintains a steady x-height and energetic joins. Numerals are weighty and readable, with rounded forms and clear differentiation between similar shapes.
Well suited to editorial typography where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, such as magazine features, pull quotes, and subheads. The strong presence also works for short headlines, book or journal covers, and display settings where a classic serif tone is desired.
The overall tone is confident and traditional, with an editorial, bookish character that feels established rather than decorative. Its italic energy adds forward motion and emphasis, making it feel persuasive and slightly dramatic while remaining conventional and legible.
The font appears designed to provide a traditional serif italic with substantial weight and clear, expressive forms. It aims to deliver authoritative readability in text while offering enough calligraphic flair to carry display roles in editorial and publishing contexts.
The design favors sturdy, slightly rounded curves and sharply defined serifs, balancing warmth with authority. Spacing appears comfortable in text, and the italic forms maintain clarity at larger sizes where the strong stroke weight and pronounced terminals become a key visual feature.
