A robust italic serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a steady, moderately modulated stroke. The letterforms show a pronounced rightward slant and a slightly calligraphic construction, with rounded joins, tapered terminals, and sturdy verticals that keep the texture dark and even. Counters are relatively compact, and the capitals read broad and stable, while the lowercase maintains a clear, continuous rhythm with gently curved shoulders and a single-storey italic ‘a’ and ‘g’. Figures are oldstyle in feel, with varied heights and strong curves that blend naturally into text.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book interiors where an italic with strong presence is needed for emphasis. It also works effectively for headings, pull quotes, and subheads that benefit from a classic serif voice and a rich, dark texture.
The overall tone is classic and literary, evoking established publishing and traditional print typography. Its italic energy feels assertive rather than delicate, giving a confident, slightly formal voice suited to serious or authoritative content.
This design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with enough weight and structure to remain readable while adding expressive slant and traditional serif detailing. It prioritizes a cohesive reading rhythm and a familiar, print-oriented character for sustained editorial use.
In paragraph settings the font builds a dense, smooth typographic color, helped by consistent serif treatment and controlled contrast. The italic forms are clearly differentiated and legible, with recognizable shapes and firm endpoints that hold up well at display sizes as well as text.
