A robust italic serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a noticeably calligraphic stroke flow. The letters lean consistently, with moderate contrast and softly tapered joins that keep the texture lively rather than rigid. Uppercase forms are sturdy and slightly compact, while the lowercase shows more cursive influence—curved shoulders, angled terminals, and a single-storey “a” that adds warmth. Numerals and capitals share the same strong, ink-trap-free weight and smooth curves, producing a dark, confident color in text.
Well suited for editorial typography where a strong italic voice is needed—subheads, pull quotes, lead-ins, and emphasis within long-form reading. Its weight and lively serif detailing also make it effective for classic-feeling titles, packaging copy, and formal promotional materials that benefit from a traditional, print-oriented tone.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, with an expressive italic energy that feels cultivated rather than flamboyant. It reads as authoritative and familiar, evoking classic print typography with a slightly spirited, human touch.
Designed to deliver a substantial, highly readable italic with classic serif manners and a calligraphic undercurrent. The intent appears to balance traditional book typography cues with enough weight and motion to stand out in editorial settings.
Spacing and rhythm favor a dense, emphatic paragraph color, making the italic feel substantial and headline-capable. The italic construction is clear across both cases, and the wedge/bracketed serifs give the design a refined finish without becoming delicate.
