A robust italic serif with bracketed, wedge-like terminals and a steady, bookish rhythm. Strokes show a clear diagonal stress with moderate contrast, producing crisp joins and sturdy hairlines without becoming delicate. Proportions are generous and open, with rounded counters and slightly flared serifs that add a traditional, oldstyle flavor. Numerals and capitals feel substantial and stable, while the lowercase maintains smooth curves and a consistent forward slant for continuous text flow.
Well-suited to extended reading in books, magazines, and other editorial layouts where an italic needs to carry emphasis without losing clarity. It also works effectively for pull quotes, subheads, captions, and other typographic moments that benefit from a traditional italic serif with strong color on the page.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, suggesting established print typography with a confident, cultivated voice. Its italic energy feels purposeful rather than decorative, lending a sense of authority and refinement suitable for serious reading contexts.
The font appears intended as a dependable, conventional text serif italic with enough weight and presence to remain legible and expressive in dense settings. Its shaping prioritizes a traditional reading texture, clear emphasis, and a familiar typographic voice.
The design balances strong black presence with clear internal space, keeping text from appearing cramped even at larger sizes. Letterforms exhibit a consistent slant and stroke modulation that helps maintain cohesion across mixed-case settings and numerals.
