A robust italic serif with clearly bracketed serifs and softly rounded terminals that keep the forms from feeling brittle. Strokes show moderate contrast with a consistent, slightly calligraphic stress, and the overall texture reads dark but even in paragraph settings. Counters are open and generously shaped, while joins and shoulders are smooth and slightly swollen, lending a sturdy, print-like rhythm. The figures are compact and weighty with traditional proportions, and the italic slant is pronounced without becoming overly cursive.
Well-suited for editorial typography where a strong italic is needed for emphasis, such as magazines, books, and long-form articles. Its weight and clear serif structure also make it effective for headlines, pull quotes, and titling that benefit from a traditional, literary feel.
The tone is classic and bookish, evoking traditional editorial typography with a confident, slightly dramatic italic voice. Its strong presence and rounded details make it feel warm and established rather than sharp or modern.
Likely designed as a conventional text-oriented italic with enough weight and personality to carry emphasis in running copy while still scaling up attractively for editorial display. The rounded terminals and bracketed serifs suggest an aim for comfortable reading texture and a dependable, established presence.
The design favors substantial stroke weight and firm serifs, producing a dense color that suits emphasis and display sizes as well as short-form text. Curves and diagonals (notably in letters like S, Q, and the lower-case a/e) maintain a smooth, cohesive movement that reinforces the italic rhythm.
