A slanted serif design with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a lively, calligraphic stroke flow. Serifs are bracketed and fairly crisp, with tapered terminals and angled stress that shows clearly in rounded forms. Proportions run generous in width with sturdy capitals and compact, energetic lowercase; counters stay open despite the weight. The overall rhythm is dynamic, with noticeable entry/exit strokes and a slightly irregular, humanist texture that reads more like drawn type than rigid construction.
It performs well for editorial design, magazine typography, and book contexts where an italic is used for emphasis but still needs to carry significant typographic color. The strong contrast and width also make it effective for headlines, subheads, and pull quotes, especially in layouts aiming for a classic, sophisticated voice.
The font projects a traditional, literary tone with a sense of speed and emphasis from the italic posture. It feels confident and cultivated, suited to settings where a classic voice and strong typographic color are desirable. The combination of sharp details and flowing curves gives it a dramatic, editorial presence.
The design appears intended as a robust, expressive text serif with an italic-driven personality—combining traditional serif structure with calligraphic movement for emphasis and readability. It aims to deliver a confident, oldstyle-like texture that remains legible while adding a noticeable editorial flair.
Uppercase forms appear weighty and formal, while the lowercase shows more cursive influence, especially in letters like a, f, j, and y. Numerals follow the same slanted, high-contrast logic, looking designed to sit comfortably within text rather than as standalone display figures.
