A robust italic serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a pronounced forward slant. Strokes show moderate contrast and a slightly calligraphic, brush-driven rhythm, with rounded joins and softly tapered terminals. Proportions are slightly condensed in places and the overall spacing feels generous enough for text, giving lines a steady, readable cadence. The lowercase is energetic—especially in letters like a, e, g, and y—while the uppercase has sturdy, simplified forms and strong horizontals. Numerals appear oldstyle (varying heights), reinforcing a bookish, traditional texture in running text.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, essays, and pull quotes where a strong italic voice is needed. Its sturdy texture also fits branding, packaging, and headings that benefit from a classic serif character with extra emphasis and motion.
The font projects a confident, traditional tone with an editorial polish. Its italic motion and weighty presence add warmth and momentum, balancing formality with a slightly expressive, humanist feel.
Likely designed to deliver a confident, highly readable italic for text and display applications, combining traditional serif structure with a more energetic, calligraphic sweep. The goal appears to be a dark, authoritative page color that still retains warmth and personality in continuous reading.
The design favors solid, dark color at text sizes, with distinct silhouettes that help differentiation (notably in the italic lowercase). The overall impression is of a contemporary text serif interpreted through a calligraphic italic lens, with consistent serif treatment and smooth curves across the set.
