A sturdy italic serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and softly swelling curves. The strokes show moderate contrast with rounded joins and a slightly calligraphic flow, giving forms a smooth, inked rhythm rather than a sharp, rigid construction. Uppercase letters are wide and stable with pronounced, gently flared terminals, while the lowercase maintains a clear, readable structure with compact counters and consistent slant. Numerals appear oldstyle-influenced in feel, with curving shapes and strong baseline presence.
This font is well suited for editorial applications such as magazine features, book typography, and long-form reading where an italic voice is needed for emphasis. It can also work effectively in branding and packaging that aims for a traditional, established feel, especially in headlines, pull quotes, and short blocks of copy.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, blending traditional book typography with a confident, slightly expressive italic voice. It reads as authoritative yet approachable, suited to content that wants heritage and seriousness without feeling austere.
The design appears intended to provide a robust, legible italic serif with a traditional footprint—delivering strong color on the page and dependable readability while retaining a subtle calligraphic character for expressiveness.
The letterforms emphasize dark, continuous texture at text sizes, with sturdy serifs and rounded terminals that help keep the italic from becoming overly delicate. The slant is assertive but controlled, supporting emphasis and hierarchy without turning into a script-like style.
