A robust italic serif with firmly bracketed serifs and a strong rightward slant. Strokes show clear modulation with weight concentrated on the main stems, while hairlines stay crisp, producing a confident, print-oriented rhythm. The lowercase has compact, rounded bowls and a slightly lively baseline feel, and the capitals are broad and steady with traditional proportions. Numerals follow the same italic construction, with open counters and a sturdy, highly legible silhouette.
Well suited to headlines and subheads where a strong italic voice is needed, as well as editorial layouts such as magazine features and pull quotes. It can also serve as an expressive accent in book covers or posters where classic serif authority and emphasis are desirable.
The tone reads traditional and editorial, pairing a sense of heritage with energetic italic motion. Its heavy presence feels confident and authoritative, while the subtle calligraphic shaping adds warmth and a literary character.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif italic with enough weight to function as a primary display style, balancing classic construction with a bold, attention-grabbing presence. Its proportions and controlled contrast suggest a focus on readability and typographic emphasis in editorial contexts.
Joins and terminals are clean and consistent, with generous counters that help maintain clarity at display sizes. The italic forms lean more toward a structured, typographic italic than a cursive script, keeping word shapes stable while still feeling dynamic.
