A robust, right-leaning serif with clearly bracketed serifs and a calligraphic, pen-driven stress. Strokes are substantial with moderate thick–thin modulation, producing crisp joins and confident terminals rather than delicate hairlines. Proportions feel broad and steady, with generous internal space in letters like O, Q, and e, and a rhythm that stays even across mixed case. The italic construction is evident throughout, with flowing diagonals and tapered entry/exit strokes that keep the heavy weight readable at display and text sizes.
Well-suited for editorial headlines, subheads, and emphasized text where a strong italic serif can carry tone and hierarchy. It also fits book-cover typography, magazine layouts, and branded applications that benefit from a traditional, authoritative voice.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, projecting confidence and gravitas without feeling ornate. Its italic energy adds movement and emphasis, giving the face a cultured, literary voice suited to refined communication.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif drawn in a forceful italic, balancing historical forms with sturdy, contemporary weight for clear emphasis and confident readability.
Capitals read as sturdy and slightly compact in detail, while the lowercase shows more calligraphic shaping and cursive-like momentum. Numerals are weighty and slanted to match, with familiar, traditional forms designed to sit comfortably in running text.
