A robust, right-leaning serif with calligraphic construction and subtly flared stroke endings. Stems and diagonals show a consistent diagonal stress, with bracketed, wedge-like serifs that widen as they meet terminals, giving the letterforms a carved, slightly incised feel. Proportions are compact in the lowercase with a relatively short x-height and prominent ascenders, while capitals are broad and stately. Counters are moderately open and curves are smoothly tensioned, producing a steady rhythm in text despite the energetic slant.
Well-suited to editorial design, book typography, and magazine layouts where an italic with strong presence is needed. It also works effectively for headlines, pull quotes, and identity applications that benefit from a classic serif voice with added motion.
The overall tone is classic and literary, combining traditional bookish authority with a touch of dynamism from the italic posture. It feels refined and formal rather than playful, evoking editorial typography and heritage publishing.
The design appears intended to deliver a confident italic serif for reading-oriented contexts, balancing traditional proportions with flared, calligraphic terminals to keep texture lively and distinctive across both display and larger text sizes.
Uppercase forms read especially monumental, while the lowercase maintains a crisp, slightly angular flow. Numerals match the same sheared, serifed language, suitable for text settings where figures need to sit comfortably alongside letters.
