This typeface is a slanted serif with sturdy, rounded forms and gently bracketed serifs that soften joins into the stems. Strokes show moderate modulation with fuller, heavier curves and comparatively lighter connections, creating a traditional oldstyle rhythm. Counters are open and slightly oval, terminals tend toward teardrop/ball-like endings, and curves are generously rounded, giving the letters a dense yet readable texture. The italic construction is evident throughout, with a consistent forward angle and a subtly calligraphic flow in bowls, shoulders, and diagonals.
It suits editorial typography such as magazine features, book jackets, and pull quotes where a strong italic voice is desired. The weight and rounded detailing also make it effective for branding, packaging, and headings that need a traditional serif character with a lively, readable texture.
The overall tone feels classic and literary, with a warm, humanist italic energy rather than a sharp or highly formal flavor. It reads as confident and established, lending text a traditional, editorial voice with a hint of friendliness from the rounded terminals and soft bracketing.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with an expressive italic emphasis—prioritizing comfortable reading rhythms while retaining enough personality in the terminals and modulation to stand out in display settings.
Capitals are robust and slightly expansive, while lowercase maintains an even, continuous texture suitable for longer passages. Numerals appear similarly weighty and rounded, matching the serif detailing and maintaining strong presence in running text.
