A slanted serif with crisp, bracketed serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The letterforms show a lively, calligraphic rhythm: tapered terminals, subtly cupped serifs, and smooth joining curves that keep the texture continuous in text. Counters are moderately open and the italics are expressive without becoming overly ornate, giving both capitals and lowercase a confident, flowing presence. Numerals share the same contrast and curvature, with oldstyle-like movement that blends naturally with the lowercase.
This style performs well for editorial typography such as magazine features, book typography, and long-form reading where a traditional serif voice is desired. It also suits premium packaging and branding that benefits from a classic, cultured italic with strong contrast and presence.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with an editorial polish that feels suited to traditional publishing. Its energetic italic stance adds warmth and expressiveness while maintaining a formal, composed impression.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional text-serif foundation with a more expressive, calligraphy-informed italic flavor. It prioritizes an authoritative, print-oriented texture while keeping forms lively enough for display lines and emphatic typographic moments.
In running text the design creates a dark, confident color with clear word shapes, helped by strong diagonal stress and distinct entry/exit strokes. The capitals read as stately and slightly calligraphic, pairing well with the more animated lowercase.
