A slanted serif with sturdy, tapered strokes and clearly bracketed wedge serifs that give the forms a carved, oldstyle feel. Curves are generous and slightly asymmetrical, with a rhythmic, handwritten influence in the italic construction and entry/exit strokes. Counters stay open and readable, while terminals often finish in soft wedges rather than blunt cuts. Proportions are moderately compact, with lively widths across letters and figures that keep texture varied and bookish.
Well suited to long-form reading in books and print editorial layouts where an italic voice needs to carry emphasis with authority. It can also support formal branding, cultural institutions, and packaging that benefits from a classic, established typographic character.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, with an academic, editorial polish. Its italic energy reads confident and expressive rather than decorative, suggesting seriousness with a subtle humanist warmth.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with a robust italic personality—aiming for dependable readability while adding historical, calligraphic flavor for emphasis and display moments within editorial typography.
The strong italic slant and tapered joins create a pronounced forward motion, especially in round letters and diagonals. Numerals follow the same serifed, calligraphic logic, maintaining a cohesive texture in mixed alphanumeric settings.
