A sturdy italic serif with softly flared, wedge-like terminals and clearly bracketed serifs that give strokes a sculpted, inked feel. Strokes show a moderate thick–thin relationship, with rounded joins and gently tapered endings that keep the heavy weight from feeling rigid. Proportions lean tall with compact counters and a lively rightward slant; curves (C, G, S, O) are full and smooth, while diagonals (V, W, X) read crisp and energetic. Numerals are robust and slightly stylized, matching the italic rhythm and the font’s overall dense color.
This design is well suited to editorial headlines, magazine features, and book-cover typography where a strong italic voice is desirable. It can also support poster work and branding that needs a classic serif presence with more motion and personality than a neutral text face.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, but with an expressive, handwritten undercurrent. It feels assertive and polished rather than delicate, suggesting authority and warmth at the same time—suited to content that wants to sound established, confident, and slightly dramatic.
The font appears designed to blend traditional serif structure with a more calligraphic, flared-stroke finish, creating an italic that reads confidently at display sizes while still holding together in longer lines. Its goal seems to be an expressive, authoritative texture that remains legible and cohesive across letters and figures.
Italic forms are integral rather than simply slanted, with noticeable stroke modulation and tapered entry/exit strokes. Spacing appears comfortable in text, producing a strong, even texture at headline sizes while retaining recognizable letterforms.
