This is a slanted serif with sturdy, dark strokes and clearly bracketed serifs that soften transitions into stems. The letterforms show a calligraphic influence: curves swell subtly, joins feel organic, and terminals often taper or hook rather than ending bluntly. Proportions are slightly varied across characters, with a lively rhythm in the lowercase and noticeable italic construction (single-storey a and g, angled stress, and forward-leaning counters). Numerals and capitals maintain the same confident weight, with rounded forms (0, 8, 9) reading full and ink-rich, and diagonal letters (V, W, X, Y) cut with crisp, energetic angles.
It performs well in editorial settings such as magazines, book interiors, and essay-style layouts where a classic serif voice is desired. The strong color and energetic slant also suit pull quotes, article intros, and short headlines, and can work for branding in contexts that aim for heritage, authority, or cultivated taste.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, evoking book typography and editorial seriousness while still feeling animated and personable due to the italic, calligraphic motion. It conveys credibility and formality without becoming cold, making it suitable for refined, text-forward communication.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif foundation with added dynamism from an italic, calligraphy-leaning construction—prioritizing readability and tradition while injecting movement and emphasis for editorial use.
In continuous text, the dense weight and pronounced slant create strong line texture and forward momentum, while the bracketed serifs help keep paragraphs cohesive. The italic construction is expressive enough to stand on its own for emphasis, not merely as an accompanying style.
