A robust italic serif with strongly bracketed serifs and a gently calligraphic stroke flow. Curves are broad and full, with rounded terminals and noticeable teardrop/ball-like details on several lowercase forms. The italic angle is clear but not extreme, and the overall rhythm feels steady and text-oriented rather than display-fragile. Counters are moderately open, joins are smooth, and the figures share the same heavy, slightly oldstyle-influenced modeling as the letters.
Works well for editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book interiors where an italic with presence is needed for emphasis. The weight and strong serifs also suit short headlines, pull quotes, and packaging copy that benefits from a traditional, crafted tone.
The font conveys a classic, bookish tone with a confident, authoritative voice. Its warm, rounded modeling and emphatic italic energy feel traditional and editorial, suggesting established institutions and crafted print typography rather than minimal modernism.
Likely designed as a text-forward italic that preserves strong typographic color while adding warmth and motion. The goal appears to balance classic serif conventions with a more expressive, calligraphic italic character for readable emphasis in continuous typography.
Capital forms read sturdy and composed, while the lowercase introduces more personality through rounder terminals and subtly varied curve tension. The overall color on the page is dark and even, helping the italic maintain clarity in longer lines of text.
