A slanted serif with sturdy, compact letterforms and clearly bracketed, wedge-like serifs. Strokes show a gently modulated rhythm and a noticeably calligraphic flow, with swelling curves and tapered joins rather than rigid, mechanical construction. Counters are moderately open and the shapes lean toward oldstyle proportions, while capitals remain broad and steady, producing a confident texture in paragraphs. The numerals follow the same italicized, serifed logic and feel integrated with the text forms.
Well-suited to editorial settings where a robust italic is needed for emphasis, such as books, magazines, and long-form reading. It can also serve effectively in pull quotes, subheads, and display lines that benefit from a classic serif voice with strong presence.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, with a warm, editorial voice rather than a sharp modern one. Its italic movement adds a sense of pace and emphasis, suggesting classic printing and book typography.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with a strong, readable texture and a historically informed, calligraphic undercurrent. It aims to provide dependable emphasis in continuous typography while retaining a refined, traditional character.
The slant is consistent across the alphabet and sample text, and the serif treatment stays cohesive from capitals through lowercase, creating a continuous, even color in running lines. The design favors smooth, rounded terminals and softly modeled curves over crisp geometric endings.
