A slanted serif with pronounced stroke modulation and bracketed serifs, combining crisp hairlines with sturdy stems. The letterforms are generously proportioned and open, with a lively italic rhythm and tapered terminals that suggest broad-nib influence. Curves are full and smooth, counters remain clear at text sizes, and capitals carry assertive, slightly sculpted forms that read well in display settings. Numerals share the same angled, calligraphic construction, with noticeable entry/exit strokes and a traditional, text-forward feel.
This face fits editorial typography—magazine features, book typography, and long-form reading—where a traditional serif texture with an expressive slant is desirable. It also performs well for headlines, pull quotes, and brand applications that want a classic, cultivated tone with a touch of movement.
The overall tone is classic and literary, projecting refinement and authority without feeling stiff. Its energetic slant and calligraphic terminals add warmth and motion, giving it a confident, editorial voice suited to sophisticated messaging.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional serif foundation enriched by an energetic italic voice, balancing readability with expressive, calligraphic detail. It aims to deliver a polished, traditional texture for text while offering enough personality for prominent editorial moments.
The italic construction is emphasized by prominent entry strokes and occasional swash-like shaping (notably in letters such as Q and some lowercase forms), which adds character and can draw attention in headings. Contrast and tapering are visually consistent across the set, helping paragraphs maintain a coherent texture while still feeling expressive.
