A serif italic with robust, compact forms and clearly bracketed serifs. Strokes show a calligraphic tilt with angled stress and gently tapered joins, producing a lively, slightly uneven rhythm that avoids geometric rigidity. Capitals are broad and sturdy, with strong top serifs and firm vertical presence, while lowercase forms are round and weighty with teardrop-like terminals and a single-storey “a.” Numerals read as oldstyle, mixing ascenders and descenders for a text-oriented texture.
Well-suited for editorial headlines, book titling, pull quotes, and short passages where an italic voice is desired without becoming script-like. The sturdy serifs and dense texture also make it effective for posters and branding applications that aim for a classic, literary feel.
The overall tone feels traditional and bookish, with an assertive, confident color on the page. Its italic energy adds warmth and motion, giving text a cultured, editorial voice rather than a purely formal one.
The font appears designed to provide a traditional serif italic with strong presence and readable structure, combining conventional text-serif proportions with a more emphatic, headline-friendly weight. Its oldstyle-style figures and calligraphic details suggest an emphasis on editorial and literary settings where warmth and authority are both useful.
The design favors tight internal counters and sturdy serifs, yielding strong dark-on-light impact in display sizes. The italic slant is noticeable but controlled, and the serif shaping stays consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures for a cohesive, text-centric impression.
