A slanted serif with pronounced, bracketed serifs and a strongly modeled stroke that suggests a calligraphic pen angle. The letterforms are generously rounded with soft joins and a slightly lively baseline rhythm, while counters stay open and readable. Uppercase forms feel weighty and authoritative, with compact proportions and sturdy horizontals; lowercase shows classic oldstyle cues, including a two-storey a and a single-storey g with a prominent ear. Numerals are sturdy and text-oriented, matching the letters’ italic flow and serifed terminals.
This font works well for editorial typography, book and magazine settings, and any application needing a classical italic with strong emphasis. Its substantial color and lively italic rhythm make it effective for headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and branding where a traditional, cultivated tone is desired.
The overall tone is literary and traditional, with an editorial gravitas that reads as formal without becoming rigid. The italic angle and calligraphic shaping add warmth and motion, giving the face a confident, slightly dramatic voice suited to emphatic text.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional serif italic with a sturdy, text-ready structure and a distinctly calligraphic flavor. It aims to deliver strong emphasis and classic readability while maintaining an energetic, expressive slant.
The design relies on clear serif articulation and consistent diagonal stress, producing a strong texture in paragraphs. The italic construction is assertive rather than delicate, helping the type retain presence at display sizes while remaining coherent in continuous text.
