A slanted serif with sturdy, weighty strokes and gently bracketed serifs. The forms show an oldstyle influence, with subtly modulated curves and tapered terminals that keep the texture lively rather than rigid. Capitals are broad and stable with softened corners, while the lowercase carries a slightly handwritten, calligraphic rhythm. Counters are moderately open and the overall color is dark and consistent, producing a strong, readable paragraph texture.
Well suited to editorial and long-form reading contexts where a darker, confident texture is desirable, such as magazines, book interiors, and essays. The pronounced italic character also works effectively for headings, pull quotes, and emphasis within text, and it holds up nicely for numerals in dates, figures, and short data strings.
The tone feels traditional and bookish, with a warm, human undercurrent from the italic flow and softened finishing strokes. It reads as confident and established rather than flashy, lending a familiar, editorial voice. The slant adds energy and a sense of motion suited to emphasis and expressive text.
The design appears intended to provide a robust, traditional serif voice with a distinctly italic, calligraphic energy. It balances sturdy, classical proportions with softened details to stay legible and inviting in continuous text while still offering a strong presence for display and emphasis.
Italic construction is evident throughout, including the numerals, giving mixed content a cohesive slanted cadence. Serifs and terminals remain rounded and slightly flared, which softens the heavy stroke weight and helps maintain clarity at text sizes.
