A robust serif with a pronounced rightward slant and strongly bracketed serifs. Strokes show clear calligraphic influence, with rounded joins, tapered terminals, and gently modulated thick–thin transitions that keep the texture energetic without becoming delicate. The proportions are generous and open, with broad bowls and steady spacing that reads comfortably at display and text sizes. Lowercase forms lean lively and slightly irregular in a humanist way, and the numerals match the same sturdy, slightly sculpted rhythm.
Well-suited to editorial typography, book-like settings, and magazine layouts where a strong italic voice is useful for emphasis. The sturdy construction also makes it effective for branding, packaging, and headline work that benefits from a traditional serif with personality and weight.
The overall tone feels classic and literary, like an oldstyle book face given extra weight and momentum. Its italic posture and warm, inked shapes convey confidence and a friendly, traditional authority rather than sharp formality.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif reading experience with a more expressive, calligraphic italic character. It prioritizes warmth and presence—maintaining familiarity while adding distinctive, inked details for emphasis and display use.
Curves are noticeably full and rounded, and many terminals end in soft wedges or subtle hooks that enhance the handwritten flavor. The slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, producing a cohesive, forward-moving line in continuous text.
