A traditional serif italic with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sturdy, bracketed serifs. The letterforms show a lively, calligraphic slant with tapered terminals, open counters, and compact joins that keep word shapes crisp at display and text sizes. Capitals are slightly condensed with strong vertical stress, while the lowercase has energetic entry/exit strokes and a single‑storey italic construction (notably the a and g), giving a fluid rhythm across lines. Numerals follow the same italic momentum with clear, sculpted forms and confident curves.
Well-suited for editorial typography where italic emphasis needs to carry real weight—magazine features, book interiors, and long-form articles. It also performs convincingly in headlines and pull quotes, where its contrast and slanted energy create clear hierarchy and a traditional, premium feel.
The overall tone is classic and assertive, combining bookish refinement with a confident, editorial presence. Its italic character feels purposeful rather than delicate, suggesting emphasis, heritage, and a composed formality suitable for serious communication.
The design appears intended as a robust, conventional serif italic that reads smoothly while providing emphatic presence. It balances classical proportions with a slightly muscular weight and crisp contrast to deliver dependable typography for formal publishing contexts.
Stroke endings are clean and decisive, with minimal ornamentation beyond the natural italic swash of terminals. Spacing appears moderately generous for an italic, supporting continuous reading while maintaining strong texture and color on the page.
