A robust italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and clearly bracketed serifs. The forms lean forward with a strong diagonal stress, and many joins and terminals show a calligraphic, slightly tapered finish rather than blunt cuts. Counters are generous and rounded, while capitals are broad and steady with strong horizontal serifs; the lowercase is more animated, with curving entries and occasional swash-like strokes. Figures appear weighty and traditional in construction, matching the text color and rhythm of the letters.
This face suits editorial and book typography where an italic voice needs to carry emphasis with authority and style. It also works well for headlines, pull quotes, and branding that benefits from a traditional serif foundation with a more expressive, calligraphic italic presence.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a confident, slightly dramatic slant that feels at home in traditional publishing. Its energetic italic shapes add warmth and personality, giving it a refined but expressive voice rather than a purely reserved one.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif reading experience while giving the italic a more distinctive, calligraphic character for emphasis and display. It aims for strong typographic color and clear, traditional letterforms that remain expressive in setting.
Stroke contrast is consistent across the set, creating a dark, authoritative texture in paragraphs. The italic construction is evident throughout, with flowing diagonals and curved terminals that keep the texture lively even at larger sizes.
