A slanted serif with sturdy, dark strokes and clearly bracketed serifs. The letterforms show calligraphic influence through subtly modulated stroke endings, angled stress in round shapes, and frequent beaked or wedge-like terminals. Curves are full and slightly compact, while the joins and serifs remain crisp enough to keep counters open at larger sizes. Overall rhythm is lively and slightly variable, with italic forms that feel intentionally drawn rather than mechanically slanted.
Well-suited for editorial settings such as books, long-form articles, and magazine typography where a classic italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or subheads. It can also support traditional branding and packaging that benefits from a formal, print-forward character, especially at text-to-display sizes where its terminals and serifs remain legible.
The tone reads classic and literary, suggesting traditional print typography with a confident, slightly dramatic presence. Its energetic italics and pronounced terminals add a touch of old-world charm, making it feel editorial and somewhat ceremonial rather than minimalist.
Likely intended to provide a traditional text-serif italic with strong color on the page and a visibly calligraphic, oldstyle flavor. The design prioritizes a distinctive, readable italic rhythm and expressive terminals while retaining conventional serif structure for familiar text composition.
Capitals carry a strong engraved feel with prominent serifs and rounded bowls, while the lowercase leans into italic, cursive-like construction (notably in the a, e, g, and y) that increases movement across a line. Numerals match the text color and show traditional proportions, including an italic slant and serifed structure that integrates smoothly with running text.
