A robust italic serif with strongly bracketed serifs and a lively, calligraphic construction. Strokes show a clear diagonal stress and moderate contrast, with sturdy verticals and rounded bowls that keep counters open at text sizes. Proportions feel generous and slightly expansive, while the italic angle and tapered terminals create forward momentum. The lowercase has a traditional, oldstyle flavor with varying entry/exit strokes and a rhythmic baseline, and the numerals and capitals carry the same weighty, carved-in quality.
Well suited to editorial typography where an italic serif is needed as a primary voice—magazine features, book interiors, and long-form reading with emphasis. The weight and presence also make it effective for headlines, subheads, and pull quotes, especially when a traditional, authoritative tone is desired.
The overall tone is classic and literary, projecting confidence and authority without feeling rigid. Its energetic italic forms add warmth and motion, giving it a cultured, editorial voice that reads as established and dependable.
Designed to deliver a traditional text-serif experience with an assertive italic personality—combining readable, oldstyle forms with enough weight and motion to stand up in editorial layouts and prominent typographic moments.
Capitals present strong, sculpted silhouettes with prominent serifs and compact internal spaces that suit display use, while the lowercase maintains a smooth texture in paragraphs. The italic detailing is pronounced enough to be expressive, but consistent enough to hold together in continuous reading.
