A bold, italic serif with softly bracketed serifs and rounded, slightly teardrop-like terminals. The strokes show moderate contrast and a pronounced forward slant, with smooth curves and gently swelling joins that suggest a calligraphic influence. Letterforms are compact and sturdy, with consistent weight distribution and a lively, slightly bouncy baseline feel in the lowercase. Numerals match the text color and slant, reading clearly with traditional, oldstyle-leaning proportions.
Well suited to editorial typography where a strong italic voice is needed, such as magazine features, pull quotes, section openers, and book titling. It can also work effectively for posters and branding that want a traditional serif impression with added warmth and motion.
The overall tone is warm and literary, combining classic bookish manners with a friendly, energetic italic motion. It feels expressive without becoming ornamental, giving text a confident, personable voice that suits narrative and editorial settings.
Likely designed to provide a robust, readable italic serif with a classic foundation and a more personable, calligraphy-tinged finish. The goal appears to be strong typographic color for emphasis and display, while retaining familiar, conventional serif structure.
Curves and shoulders are notably rounded, which softens the bold color and helps the italics remain legible at display sizes. The capitals have sturdy silhouettes and clear serifs, while the lowercase maintains an energetic rhythm through varied entry/exit strokes and gently tapered endings.
