A slanted serif design with bracketed, wedge-like terminals and a visibly calligraphic rhythm. Strokes show clear modulation with tapered joins and rounded transitions, producing sturdy, ink-like forms. Capitals are broad and stately with crisp serifs, while the lowercase is lively and slightly compact, with a single-storey “a” and “g” and a long, curved “f” that reinforces the italic flow. Numerals appear oldstyle, with varying heights and angled stress that matches the text texture.
Well suited for editorial typography such as magazines, opinion columns, and literary essays where an expressive serif italic can carry long text without losing authority. It also fits book typography for introductions, pull quotes, and display-in-text moments, along with branding that wants a classic, heritage-leaning tone (e.g., publishing, academia, cultural institutions).
This typeface conveys a classic, literary tone with a confident, editorial presence. Its italic slant and calligraphic modulation add a sense of movement and emphasis, giving it a slightly dramatic, old‑world refinement rather than a neutral, utilitarian feel.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional book-and-editorial color while leveraging an italicized, calligraphic structure for emphasis and personality. Its sturdy serifs and controlled contrast aim to keep paragraphs cohesive, while the lively lowercase shapes provide distinct wordforms and a recognizable voice.
The overall texture is dense and rhythmic, with noticeable italic energy and strongly shaped serifs that remain consistent across caps and lowercase. The glyph set shown suggests careful differentiation between letters via tapered strokes and pronounced terminals, helping maintain clarity at larger text and display sizes.
