A robust italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a forward, energetic slant. Serifs are bracketed and often wedge-like, with rounded joins and soft terminals that give the strokes a slightly calligraphic feel. The lowercase shows noticeable entry/exit strokes and a flowing rhythm, while capitals are broad and steady with strong vertical stress. Counters are moderately open and the figures follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, producing a cohesive, assertive texture in text.
Performs well in editorial contexts such as magazines, book interiors, and long-form articles where an italic voice is needed with authority and clarity. The weight and contrast also make it effective for headlines, subheads, and pull quotes, especially when a traditional, formal tone is desired.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, with a confident, slightly dramatic flair typical of traditional italic serif typography. It feels suited to literature, commentary, and heritage-leaning branding—refined rather than minimal, expressive without becoming decorative.
Designed to deliver a classic italic serif voice with strong contrast and a lively, calligraphic rhythm. The intention appears to balance readability with emphasis, providing an expressive italic suitable for both continuous text and prominent typographic moments.
Letterforms maintain consistent slant and contrast across cases, creating a smooth line of text with a distinct, old-style cadence. Several glyphs exhibit ball-like terminals and tapered stroke endings that add warmth and motion, helping the face hold together in larger sizes while remaining readable in paragraphs.
