A traditional serif with a pronounced rightward slant and sturdy, bracketed serifs. Strokes are relatively full and confident with moderate contrast, giving the face a solid color on the page. The italic construction feels calligraphic rather than purely mechanical, with angled terminals, a lively diagonal rhythm, and subtly varied character widths that keep word shapes active. Counters are compact and the curves are firmly drawn, producing crisp silhouettes in both capitals and lowercase.
This font works well for editorial headlines, book and magazine typography, and short-to-medium passages where a strong italic serif presence is desired. It is particularly effective for emphasis, pull quotes, and cover lines, and can also serve as a distinctive display serif for posters and branding that aims for a traditional, print-rooted feel.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a formal, editorial voice. Its italic energy adds movement and emphasis while still reading as established and traditional, suited to contexts that want authority with a touch of dynamism.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust, readable serif with an energetic italic voice—combining classic text-serif structure with a more expressive, calligraphic slant for emphasis and display-driven typesetting.
Capitals present strong, steady proportions with sharp bracketed serifs, while the lowercase leans into an italic, slightly cursive flow. Numerals match the text weight and slant, maintaining consistent presence in running settings and display use.
