This typeface is a slanted serif with sturdy, well-bracketed serifs and a noticeably calligraphic construction. Strokes show a clear, traditional contrast with rounded transitions and slightly swelling curves, giving counters a soft, organic feel rather than a rigid geometric one. The italic angle is pronounced and consistent, with lively entry/exit strokes and gently tapered joins that keep the texture energetic. Uppercase forms read stately and compact, while lowercase letters show classic italic behaviors (single-storey a, flowing f and y shapes, and a generous, looped g), producing a varied, rhythmic wordshape.
It suits editorial typography, book and magazine settings, and other long-form applications that benefit from a classic serif italic voice. The strong weight and pronounced slant also make it effective for emphasis in text, as well as for display uses like headlines, pull quotes, and premium packaging where a traditional, cultured impression is desired.
The overall tone feels literary and established, with an old-style warmth and a confident, authoritative presence. Its energetic slant and calligraphic details add a sense of motion and elegance, keeping it from feeling stiff or purely institutional.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable serif italic with a distinctly calligraphic flavor—balancing traditional book-type proportions with enough weight and motion to stand out in contemporary editorial layouts.
Numerals appear similarly italicized and robust, aligning visually with the letterforms for continuous text settings. The font’s spacing and varied letter widths create an active texture that favors traditional reading patterns over strictly uniform color.
