A slanted serif with bracketed serifs, tapered strokes, and a steady, moderately contrasted rhythm. The capitals feel broad and stately with pronounced wedges and clear entry/exit terminals, while the lowercase shows an oldstyle lean with round counters and lively, slightly calligraphic joins. Curves are smooth and full, the joints are firm, and the overall color on the page is dense but controlled, maintaining clear internal spaces in letters like a, e, o, and g. Numerals follow the same italicized, traditional construction and sit comfortably alongside the text forms.
Well suited to editorial typography where a classic italic voice is needed for emphasis, subheads, pull quotes, and lead-ins. Its sturdy color and clear serif shaping also make it appropriate for book interiors, cultural or academic publishing, and brand systems that want a traditional, refined tone.
The font projects a traditional, bookish tone with an editorial polish. Its slanted stance and crisp serifs add energy without losing formality, giving it a confident, established voice suited to refined reading experiences.
The design appears intended as a conventional, readable serif italic that balances tradition with a slightly assertive, contemporary crispness. It aims to deliver dependable text performance while providing a distinctive, energetic slant for editorial hierarchy and emphasis.
The italic angle is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, creating a cohesive forward motion. Serifs and terminals read as sharp but not brittle, helping the design retain a sturdy presence in both display lines and continuous text.
