This serif italic presents sturdy, gently modulated strokes with noticeable tapering and flared terminals that broaden into wedge-like endings. Serifs are bracketed and smoothly integrated, with a calligraphic feel in the curved strokes and a consistent rightward slant. Counters are fairly open for an italic, while joins and terminals remain crisp, giving the letters a dark, confident texture in text. Proportions feel traditional, with a moderate x-height and clearly differentiated forms across capitals, lowercase, and figures.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and pull quotes where a robust italic is needed for emphasis. It also fits branding and packaging that benefits from a traditional, crafted voice, especially in short-to-medium text where its dark color and flared detailing can be appreciated.
The overall tone is classical and literary, combining old-style warmth with a decisive, editorial authority. Its italic energy feels intentional and formal rather than casual, suggesting tradition, craft, and credibility.
The design appears aimed at delivering a classic serif italic with a strong text color and distinctive flared finishing, balancing readability with a crafted, calligraphic character for editorial and literary settings.
Capitals show strong, sculpted silhouettes with wedge-like finishing details, while lowercase maintains a steady rhythm and legible spacing despite the slant. Numerals appear italicized to match the text, contributing to a cohesive, bookish color across mixed content.
