A slanted serif with substantial, smoothly modeled strokes and gently bracketed, flared terminals that broaden into wedge-like endings. Curves are full and round, counters are open, and the overall rhythm is energetic, driven by a calligraphic stress and tapered joins. Capitals feel sturdy and slightly expansive with pronounced serifs, while lowercase shows clear italic construction (single-storey forms, flowing entry/exit strokes) and a consistent, cohesive stroke modulation across letters and numerals.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and title treatments where an expressive italic serif can carry tone and hierarchy. It can also support branding and packaging that benefits from a classic, crafted feel, and works effectively for short-to-medium text passages when a more emphatic, stylized voice is desired.
The font communicates a traditional, literature-forward tone with a confident, expressive italic voice. Its flared terminals and sweeping curves add warmth and motion, giving it a polished, editorial presence without feeling delicate.
The design appears intended to merge a traditional serif foundation with a distinctly italic, calligraphic energy, using flared terminals and smooth bracketing to create both authority and movement. It emphasizes readability through open counters and clear silhouettes while leaning into an expressive editorial character.
Serif details are visually prominent and sculpted rather than blunt, helping forms stay crisp at display sizes. The italic slant is assertive, and the letterforms maintain strong differentiation (notably in capitals and numerals) through varied silhouettes and terminal shapes.
