A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and bracketed serifs that read crisp yet slightly calligraphic. Capitals are broad and stately with sturdy vertical stems and sharp, wedge-like finishing, while the lowercase shows rounded forms, lively entry strokes, and occasional teardrop-like terminals. Curves are generously drawn (notably in O, Q, and the bowls), giving the face a smooth rhythm despite the strong contrast. Numerals follow the same italicized, oldstyle-leaning logic, with open counters and varied widths that keep text color energetic rather than strictly uniform.
Well-suited to magazine headlines, pull quotes, and book-cover titling where an italic serif can add emphasis and refinement. It can also support premium branding or packaging that benefits from a classic, literary voice, especially at larger sizes where the contrast and terminals are most apparent.
The font projects a traditional, bookish tone with a confident, editorial presence. Its italic slant and sculpted contrast add drama and sophistication, evoking literature, heritage publishing, and formal communication without feeling overly delicate.
The likely intention is to offer a conventional serif foundation with an italic, calligraphic inflection—combining traditional proportions with heightened contrast and a lively slant for expressive typesetting.
The design favors expressive diagonals and sweeping joins, creating a forward-moving texture in paragraphs. Spacing and proportions appear tuned for display and short-to-medium text, where the pronounced contrast and angled stress remain legible while adding character.
