A slanted serif with sturdy, rounded main strokes and clearly bracketed, flared terminals that broaden as they meet the serif. The stroke modulation stays restrained, but the letterforms show a lively, calligraphic influence through angled cuts, tapered joins, and slightly wedge-like serifs. Proportions feel traditionally grounded with open counters and a steady rhythm, while curves (notably in O/C/G) are full and smooth. The italic construction is consistent across caps and lowercase, with energetic diagonals and subtly sculpted details in characters like a, f, and y.
Well-suited for headlines and subheads where the slanted, flared detailing can add character and emphasis. It should also perform nicely in editorial settings (magazines, pull quotes, and book typography) where a warm, classic italic voice is desirable, and in branding or packaging that benefits from confident, heritage-leaning letterforms.
The overall tone is classic and assured, leaning toward an editorial voice that feels polished without becoming delicate. Its slant and flared finishing give it momentum and warmth, suggesting sophistication with a touch of personality rather than strict formality.
The design appears intended to blend traditional serif structure with a more sculpted, calligraphic italic sensibility, using flared, bracketed endings to add weight and tactility. It aims for strong presence and readability while delivering an expressive, editorial texture.
Numerals are robust and readable, matching the text weight and maintaining the same angled, flared finishing. Capital shapes are broad and stable, while lowercase forms keep clear differentiation and maintain a cohesive texture in continuous text.
