A compact italic serif with pronounced bracketed serifs and softly tapered strokes. Curves show a gentle diagonal stress, with rounded, ink-trap-free joins and smooth modulation that reads clearly at text sizes. The capitals are sturdy and slightly wide in stance, while the lowercase is more animated, with flowing entry/exit strokes and a single-storey italic “a.” Figures are sturdy and open, with old-style movement in the curves and consistent spacing that supports continuous reading.
Well-suited to long-form reading contexts such as books, essays, and magazine layouts where a strong italic voice is needed. It also works effectively for pull quotes, introductions, and formal headings that benefit from a classic serif italic with clear texture.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, with a confident, slightly old-world formality. Its italic angle and calligraphic detailing add warmth and motion without becoming decorative, giving it an editorial, book-oriented voice.
Designed to provide a robust, readable italic companion for conventional text setting, balancing calligraphic character with steady rhythm and clarity. The intent appears to prioritize strong page color, familiar proportions, and dependable readability in continuous text.
Serif shapes tend toward wedge-like ends with noticeable bracketing, and many letters show subtly cupped terminals that reinforce the italic rhythm. The texture in paragraphs is even and dark, producing a solid, authoritative color on the page.
