A bold, right-leaning serif with medium contrast and softened, bracketed serifs. Strokes show a calligraphic influence: curves are generous, joins are rounded, and terminals often finish with a slight flare or teardrop-like shape. Proportions feel open and slightly extended, with sturdy capitals and a compact, readable lowercase. Numerals are weighty and smooth, matching the letterforms’ rounded rhythm and italic momentum.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and short-to-medium editorial passages where an expressive italic serif can carry tone as well as information. It can also work effectively for branding and packaging that wants a traditional, crafted feel with strong presence.
The overall tone is classic yet approachable, with a lively, traditional elegance that suggests editorial heritage rather than strict formality. Its pronounced slant and soft detailing add warmth and motion, giving text a confident, slightly nostalgic voice.
The font appears intended to deliver a conventional serif foundation infused with italic calligraphic energy, prioritizing a bold, readable texture while adding personality through softened serifs and rounded terminals.
The design emphasizes continuous flow and smooth modulation, with sturdy counters and a consistent dark color that holds up well in display sizes. Uppercase forms read as assertive and stable, while the lowercase introduces more personality through curved entries and gently animated terminals.
