A slanted, high-contrast serif with broad, brush-like strokes and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Serifs are bracketed and often flare into wedge-like terminals, with many letters showing gently bulbous, teardrop ends that reinforce a calligraphic, inked feel. Curves are generous and slightly condensed in places, while counters stay open enough to keep the texture readable at display and text sizes. The overall rhythm is energetic and slightly irregular in a humanist way, with a confident, heavy footprint and smoothly flowing joins.
This font suits editorial layouts where an expressive serif italic can add character without becoming decorative: magazine features, book interiors, pull quotes, and headings. It can also work well for brand identities that want a traditional, crafted tone, especially in short to medium text settings where its contrast and rhythm can be appreciated.
The tone reads traditional and bookish, with an old-style, editorial flavor. Its italic movement and brushy terminals add warmth and drama, giving the impression of classic print—inviting, authoritative, and a bit theatrical.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional serif voice with heightened italic expressiveness—combining classic text-serifs with calligraphic stress and robust weight for strong presence in print-like compositions.
Uppercase forms feel sturdy and emblematic, while lowercase letters introduce more movement through curved entry strokes and soft, swelling terminals. Figures match the slanted, high-contrast construction and appear designed to sit comfortably alongside the letters in continuous text.
