A bold, italic serif with strongly bracketed serifs and softly modeled stroke endings. The letters show moderate contrast and a slightly calligraphic, right-leaning rhythm, with rounded joins and occasional ball-like terminals that add warmth. Uppercase forms are broad and sturdy with clear wedge-and-bracket serif shapes, while lowercase characters have a sturdy, bookish build and relatively tight interior spaces that read best at text and display sizes rather than micro settings. The numerals appear oldstyle, with varied heights and distinctive curled terminals that match the serif detailing.
Well suited to editorial headlines, book and magazine titling, pull quotes, and other situations where a robust italic serif can carry tone and emphasis. It can also work for short passages and subheads where a traditional, high-ink presence is desirable.
The overall tone is classic and literary, suggesting traditional book typography with an emphatic, headline-ready voice. Its italic angle and rounded terminals give it a personable, slightly vintage feel while keeping a formal, editorial posture.
The font appears designed to deliver a classic serif voice in an assertive italic, combining traditional bracketed serifs with rounded, expressive terminals to create a distinctive, readable texture. It aims to feel familiar and authoritative while adding a touch of warmth and motion.
The design emphasizes strong horizontal serifs and confident curves, creating a dark, even color on the page. The italic slant is consistent and contributes to a forward-moving texture, with particularly distinctive swash-like touches in characters such as the Q and several lowercase terminals.
