A slanted serif with sturdy, ink-trap-free strokes and clearly bracketed, wedge-like serifs. The letterforms show a gently calligraphic construction: rounded joins, tapered terminals, and a slightly soft, swelling stroke that keeps edges from feeling mechanical. Counters are moderately open, curves are full, and the overall rhythm is lively, with subtle width variation across characters that adds texture in words. Numerals follow the same robust, slightly condensed, serifed style for consistent color in mixed text.
Well-suited to editorial typography where a strong, traditional voice is needed, such as books, magazines, and long-form articles. It also works effectively for display-driven uses like headlines and pull quotes where the italic energy and robust serifs can provide emphasis and character.
The face reads as traditional and bookish, with a confident, editorial tone. Its energetic italic stance and softened, hand-influenced details add warmth and personality without tipping into novelty, making it feel established and trustworthy rather than ornate.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif reading experience with added motion and emphasis from a built-in italic posture. It balances classic proportions and bracketed serifs with subtle calligraphic liveliness to remain comfortable in text while still feeling distinctive in larger sizes.
The italic angle is evident across both cases, and the design keeps a strong baseline presence with crisp, readable silhouettes. Uppercase forms are weighty and steady, while lowercase shapes maintain a flowing, text-first cadence that holds together well in continuous setting.
