A robust italic serif with strongly bracketed serifs and an evident calligraphic construction. Strokes show a clear slant and moderated contrast, with thickened joins and tapered, wedge-like entry/exit strokes that keep forms lively. Counters are compact and the rhythm is dense, supported by a tall x-height and sturdy verticals that maintain clarity at text sizes. Uppercase proportions feel stable and classical, while lowercase forms (notably the two-storey a and single-storey g) emphasize smooth curves and soft terminals.
Well-suited to book and magazine typography, especially for long-form reading where a strong italic is needed for emphasis, quotations, and headings within a text family. It can also serve effectively in editorial branding, pull quotes, and formal announcements where a classic serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with an editorial warmth that suggests established publishing and formal communication. Its italic posture reads expressive without becoming flashy, conveying a confident, slightly old-style personality.
The design appears intended as a dependable, traditional text serif italic with enough weight and x-height to stay legible while still showing calligraphic motion. Its shapes prioritize consistent paragraph color, familiar proportions, and a refined, print-like texture.
Letterforms lean into rounded, ink-like shaping: curved strokes thicken subtly through turns, and serifs transition smoothly into stems rather than ending abruptly. Numerals appear sturdy and text-oriented, matching the weight and cadence of the letters for consistent color in paragraphs.
