A slanted serif with sturdy, compact proportions and clearly bracketed serifs. Strokes show moderate modulation, with rounded joins and softly tapered terminals that keep the texture smooth rather than sharp. Counters are relatively tight and the overall rhythm is energetic, aided by slightly irregular, handwriting-informed shapes in the lowercase. Figures are robust and oldstyle-leaning in feel, with curved forms that match the text’s flowing, italic movement.
Well suited to editorial typography where an italic serif is used as a primary voice, such as magazine features, cultural commentary, and book-cover titling. The weight and compactness also make it effective for short headlines, pull quotes, and branded phrases on packaging or labels where a traditional, energetic tone is desired.
The face reads as classic and literary with a hint of vintage personality. Its warm, slightly calligraphic motion and substantial presence give it an assertive, editorial voice that feels traditional rather than sleek or technical.
Likely designed to provide a strong, readable italic serif with a lively, humanist cadence—balancing traditional text-serif conventions with enough personality for display moments. The compact fit and confident stroke weight suggest an intent to maintain a rich typographic color while staying legible in continuous text.
Uppercase forms hold a strong, poster-friendly silhouette, while the lowercase carries more character in details like the angled entry strokes and tapered terminals. The italic angle is consistent across letters and numerals, producing a cohesive, forward-leaning line and a dark, even color in paragraphs.
