A robust italic serif with bracketed serifs and a smooth, calligraphic flow. Strokes show moderate modulation with diagonal stress, producing sturdy thick–thin rhythm without becoming delicate. Proportions are generous and slightly expanded, with open counters and rounded joins that keep forms clear at display and text sizes. Terminals are softly tapered and the italic construction is evident throughout, giving letters a consistent rightward momentum and a cohesive texture in paragraphs.
Well suited to editorial headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and book or magazine typography where a strong italic voice is needed. The sturdy construction and open forms also make it a practical choice for short-to-medium text passages, packaging copy, and branding that aims for a classic, literary tone.
The overall tone feels classic and editorial, with a confident, established voice. Its weight and italic slant add emphasis and drama while staying rooted in conventional bookish forms, suggesting authority rather than novelty.
The design appears intended as a conventional serif italic with extra presence: a confident, readable texture for editorial and publishing contexts. It aims to deliver emphasis and sophistication through traditional serif forms, moderate contrast, and a steady italic rhythm.
Uppercase shapes read stately and stable, while the lowercase shows lively italic features such as single-storey forms and a pronounced, flowing rhythm. Figures appear strong and oldstyle-leaning in character, matching the letterforms’ sturdy, traditional color and making numeric text feel integrated rather than separate.
