A heavy, right-leaning serif with compact proportions and a strong, continuous rhythm. Stems are robust and slightly tapered, with clearly bracketed serifs that read as wedge-like and softly rounded rather than sharp slabs. Many joins and terminals show subtle scooping and swelling that creates an ink-trap-like bite at counters and corners, while curves (C, G, O, S) are full and generously rounded. The italic construction is evident in the slanted axis and in the lively, curved lowercases; numerals are sturdy and oldstyle-leaning in feel, with open bowls and pronounced entry/exit strokes.
Well suited for editorial display—headlines, subheads, and pull quotes—where the bold italic voice can add emphasis and personality. It also fits book covers, posters, and branded typography that wants a traditional serif feel with energetic motion.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a confident, slightly dramatic presence. Its rounded wedges and lively italic motion add warmth and a touch of vintage editorial character without feeling ornamental.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust, readable serif with an expressive italic stance, combining traditional bracketed serifs with softened, slightly sculpted details to create strong color and a distinctive, confident texture.
Uppercase forms are broad and assertive, with strong serifs that help anchor lines. Lowercase shapes show pronounced modulation in terminals (notably a, e, f, y) that enhances texture at larger sizes; at small sizes the heavy joins and scooped details may benefit from a bit more tracking.
