This typeface is a slanted serif with sturdy, bracketed wedge serifs and a distinctly calligraphic construction. Strokes show clear modulation, with thicker verticals and tapered, sheared terminals that create a forward-leaning rhythm. The capitals are broad and stable with strongly cupped serifs, while the lowercase has rounded bowls, a compact feel, and slightly irregular, lively widths that keep word shapes animated. Numerals follow the same sculpted, oldstyle-like logic, with curved forms and prominent entry/exit strokes that read well at display sizes.
It performs especially well in headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other editorial typography where an italic voice is needed without sacrificing weight and presence. The strong serif detailing and lively forms also suit branding, packaging, and poster work that benefits from a classic, literary tone.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish with an energetic, persuasive slant—more human and expressive than strictly formal. It conveys a sense of heritage and authority while staying approachable, making it feel at home in editorial and cultural contexts.
The design appears intended as a robust, readable italic serif that can carry emphasis and personality in text-forward layouts. Its sculpted serifs and calligraphic modulation suggest a goal of blending traditional book-serifs with a more energetic, display-ready color.
Spacing appears moderately open for an italic, and the strong diagonal stress gives lines a continuous flow. Serifs and terminals remain consistent across cases, producing a cohesive texture that emphasizes movement without becoming ornate.
