A slanted serif with sturdy, compact forms and a clearly calligraphic rhythm. Strokes show a noticeable diagonal stress and moderate tapering, with bracketed serifs that often curve into the stems rather than ending in sharp slabs. Counters are fairly tight and the joins are energetic, giving the lowercase a vigorous, slightly condensed texture. Terminals frequently finish in soft teardrops or rounded wedges, and the numerals appear oldstyle, aligning with the italic flow and creating an uneven, text-like baseline presence.
Well-suited to editorial typography where an italic is used prominently—pull quotes, intros, or highlighted passages—thanks to its strong presence and consistent texture. It can also serve in book and magazine settings for emphasis or short blocks of text, and in branding or packaging where a classic, literary tone is desired.
The overall tone feels traditional and bookish, but not delicate—more assertive and expressive than quiet. Its italic angle and rounded finishing details add warmth and motion, suggesting an editorial voice with a touch of vintage charm.
The design appears intended to provide a robust, readable italic serif that carries traditional typography cues while maintaining strong visual impact. Its calligraphic stress, bracketed serifs, and oldstyle-like figures suggest a focus on continuous text rhythm and an expressive, editorial voice.
Uppercase letters read as weighty and formal with strong serifs and stable proportions, while the lowercase carries more of the personality through curved entries, lively bowls, and pronounced angled strokes. The sample text shows a dense, cohesive color suitable for emphasis, with punctuation and figures that contribute to a continuous, narrative feel.
