A sturdy italic serif with visibly calligraphic construction and bracketed serifs. Strokes show a gentle diagonal stress and moderate modulation, with rounded joins and softened terminals that keep the heavy weight from feeling rigid. Proportions lean slightly condensed in many capitals, while curves are generous and counters remain fairly open; the italic slant is steady and consistent across the set. The lowercase features energetic entry/exit strokes and a broad, readable rhythm, and the figures are weighty, oldstyle-leaning in feel with ample curvature and strong presence.
This face works especially well for book and magazine titling, pull quotes, and editorial headings where an italic needs to carry weight and personality. Its robust shapes also fit packaging and poster work that benefits from a classic, text-rooted serif with strong emphasis.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, suggesting the authority of book typography with an expressive, crafted italic voice. It reads as confident and slightly dramatic, suited to emphatic passages rather than neutral, invisible text.
The design appears intended as a bold, expressive italic companion for traditional serif typography—providing emphasis, hierarchy, and a crafted, oldstyle flavor while staying legible and cohesive in continuous settings.
Spacing and rhythm appear intentionally lively, with noticeable forward motion from the italic forms and curved serif shaping. The design maintains clarity at display sizes while preserving enough internal whitespace to avoid clogging in tighter settings.
