A right-leaning serif with sturdy, dark strokes and moderately modulated contrast. The letterforms are broad with generous internal space, bracketed serifs, and softly rounded joins that give the shapes a slightly calligraphic, inked quality. Curves and bowls are full and smooth, while terminals often finish with subtle flare or a small wedge, keeping the texture lively rather than rigid. Lowercase proportions feel conventional, with clear ascenders/descenders and a steady rhythm suited to continuous reading.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book work, and long-form reading where a robust italic can carry emphasis and hierarchy. It can also serve in brand systems and packaging that want a classic, slightly expressive serif voice with strong presence at display and subhead sizes.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, with a warm, authoritative presence. Its italic energy reads expressive without becoming decorative, suggesting a confident, literary voice that feels at home in print-centric design.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with an assertive italic personality, balancing familiar book typography with a fuller, more contemporary weight and width. Its details prioritize readable texture and a confident, print-ready tone over minimalism.
Numerals appear oldstyle with varying heights and pronounced curves, matching the text color and reinforcing a classic typographic palette. The italic construction stays consistent across caps and lowercase, producing a cohesive slanted texture in paragraphs and emphasizing words with a strong, rounded bite.
