A right-leaning serif with sturdy, tapered strokes and clearly bracketed wedge serifs. The forms show a calligraphic, slightly brush-like modulation, with softened joins and small flare-like terminals that keep the rhythm lively rather than rigid. Capitals are broad and emphatic, while lowercase maintains a straightforward, readable structure with a moderate x-height and compact counters; the italic slant and swelling curves give the texture a rolling, energetic line. Numerals follow the same sculpted, old-style feeling, with rounded bowls and tapered ends that match the serif detailing.
Works well for editorial headlines and subheads where a strong italic serif voice is desired, as well as book covers and pull quotes that benefit from a classic, energetic texture. It can also serve for short passages or introductions where emphasis and personality are more important than a quiet, neutral page color.
The font conveys an editorial, literary tone—assertive and classic, but not austere. Its lively italic energy and robust serif shapes suggest tradition with a human touch, suitable for content that wants to feel established and confident rather than clinical.
Likely intended as a robust, readable italic serif that combines conventional text-serif proportions with a more expressive, calligraphic finish. The design appears tuned to deliver strong emphasis and classic credibility while maintaining a lively, human rhythm in continuous text.
Stroke endings often resolve into triangular wedges and softly cupped terminals, creating a distinctive sparkle in larger sizes. In text, the heavier color and pronounced slant create strong emphasis and forward motion, making it particularly effective when used as an italic voice rather than a neutral body companion.
