A serif italic with sturdy, low-contrast strokes and a broad set width. Serifs are clearly bracketed and often wedge-like, with pointed, slightly flared terminals that give many letters a crisp, cut-in feel. The italic construction shows a consistent rightward slant, with gently flowing joins and occasional sharp entry strokes, producing a lively rhythm without becoming overly delicate. Counters are open and generous, and the overall texture reads dark and even, suited to continuous text as well as emphatic display lines.
Works well for editorial typography where an italic is used for emphasis, pull quotes, subheads, and lead-ins, and it can also serve for book and magazine composition needing a confident, traditional voice. Its sturdy construction supports medium-size text and prominent headings where a classic italic presence is desired.
The tone is traditional and bookish, with a composed, editorial voice. Its energetic italic details add a sense of rhetoric and emphasis, suggesting quotation, commentary, or classic literary styling rather than casual or minimalist branding.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, readable text-serif italic with added liveliness from wedge terminals and calligraphic entry strokes, balancing formality with a slightly dramatic, expressive cadence.
Uppercase forms feel stately and slightly expansive, while lowercase shapes maintain clear differentiation (notably in a, g, y, and k) through angled terminals and pronounced serif treatment. Numerals appear lining and robust, matching the text weight and maintaining strong legibility at a glance.
