A robust serif with a pronounced rightward slant and strongly bracketed serifs. Strokes are full and confident with moderate contrast, showing softened joins and subtly swelling curves that give the outlines an inked, slightly calligraphic feel. The uppercase has broad proportions and steady rhythm, while the lowercase shows compact bowls and open counters for a sturdy, readable texture. Terminals are gently curved rather than sharply cut, and the figures match the overall weight and slanted stance for consistent color in running text.
Well-suited for editorial headlines and subheads where an italic serif can provide emphasis and a distinctive voice. It also works for book-cover typography, pull quotes, and short-to-medium passages where a dense, traditional texture is desirable.
The overall tone feels traditional and editorial, with a warm, slightly old-style character that suggests print heritage. Its strong presence and italic movement add emphasis and energy without becoming flashy, giving it a confident, literary voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional text-serif foundation with a bolder, more expressive italic personality. It prioritizes strong presence, smooth bracketing, and cohesive rhythm to read comfortably while still standing out in display settings.
Letterforms favor rounded interior shapes and soft bracketing, which reduces harshness at large sizes and helps maintain a cohesive texture in paragraphs. The italic angle is evident across both letters and numerals, supporting a continuous, forward-leaning flow.
