A sturdy italic serif with generous curves and a pronounced rightward slant. Strokes are thick and fairly even, with subtly modulated joins and bracketed serifs that flare into rounded, sometimes teardrop-like terminals. Counters are open and slightly oval, giving the forms a lively, calligraphic rhythm rather than rigid geometry. The lowercase shows traditional italic construction (single-storey a and g, flowing entry/exit strokes), while the uppercase maintains a compact, headline-friendly presence with softened corners and strong vertical emphasis.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and short editorial blocks where its weight and italic motion can carry personality. It can work well for book covers, magazine features, and branding that wants a classic, print-inspired tone. For longer text, it will benefit from comfortable sizing and looser tracking/leading to preserve clarity.
The overall tone feels traditional and literary, with a slightly nostalgic, printed-page character. Its rounded serifs and inky terminals add warmth and a handmade hint, while the heavy presence keeps it assertive and authoritative. The italic energy reads expressive without becoming ornate, suggesting a refined but approachable voice.
The design appears intended to combine traditional italic serif conventions with a heavier, more graphic presence, producing a display-leaning face that still reads like it belongs in editorial typography. Its softened serifs and teardrop terminals aim to evoke ink-on-paper warmth while keeping strong, consistent silhouettes for impactful setting.
Numbers appear oldstyle in feel, sitting with varied heights and curved silhouettes that blend naturally with text. The design’s rounded terminals and swelling joins create a slightly “inked” texture that can look rich in display sizes and dense in longer passages if tightly set.
