This typeface is a slanted serif with sturdy, weighty strokes and clearly bracketed serifs. Letterforms show a gently calligraphic construction with curved joins, tapered terminals, and a slightly uneven rhythm that gives the texture movement in text. Counters are moderately open, while the heavier strokes and compact apertures create a dense, emphatic color at display sizes. The italic angle is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, and the figures appear oldstyle in spirit, blending naturally with the lowercase.
It suits editorial headlines, book and magazine covers, posters, and prominent callouts where an energetic serif italic can carry personality. In longer settings it can work best for emphasis, introductions, or pull quotes, where its dense color and lively forms remain readable and intentional.
The overall tone feels classic and literary, with a confident, editorial presence. Its italic energy reads expressive rather than delicate, giving headlines a spirited, slightly dramatic voice while still staying grounded in traditional bookish conventions.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice with added motion and emphasis through a robust italic, balancing classic structure with expressive stroke shaping. It aims for strong typographic presence without drifting into decorative extremes.
Capitals are broad and stable with pronounced, softened serifs, while lowercase includes several rounded, teardrop-like terminals and a single-storey “g,” reinforcing a handwritten italic flavor. The glyphs maintain consistent stroke endings and curvature, producing a cohesive texture across mixed-case settings.
