A robust italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a forward slant throughout. The forms feel broad and generously proportioned, with bracketed serifs, flared strokes, and rounded, teardrop-like terminals that give the curves a sculpted finish. Counters are open and the rhythm is energetic, with a distinctly calligraphic stroke logic visible in letters like a, g, s, and the diagonals of v and w. The numerals read as oldstyle figures with varying heights and some descenders, reinforcing a traditional text-oriented construction.
This font is well suited to editorial and display applications such as headlines, subheads, book covers, and pull quotes where a traditional italic serif can carry emphasis and authority. It can also work for short-form text in print-oriented layouts where a rich, high-contrast texture is desired.
The overall tone is classic and literary, evoking established publishing and traditional print. Its weight and contrast lend a confident, slightly dramatic voice, while the italic movement adds a sense of pace and emphasis suited to expressive reading.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif reading voice with heightened italic expressiveness—combining classic proportions with bold presence and calligraphic detailing for impactful, polished typography.
Uppercase shapes lean toward stately, Roman-derived proportions, while the lowercase shows more personality through curled entry strokes and soft, rounded joins. The heavy stems and crisp hairlines create strong word shapes at display sizes, and the pronounced terminals contribute to a distinctive texture in paragraphs.
