A right-leaning serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed wedge serifs. The letterforms show a calligraphic, slightly condensed rhythm within an overall sturdy texture, with tapered joins, teardrop/ball-like terminals in places, and sharply cut entry and exit strokes. Counters are relatively compact, and the italic construction is clear in the flowing lowercase (notably a single-storey a and g) and in the slanted caps. Numerals appear as oldstyle figures with varying heights and ascenders/descenders, matching the italic text color and contrast.
Well-suited to editorial and publishing contexts such as magazine features, book typography, and long-form reading where a strong italic voice is desired. It can also serve effectively for headlines, subheads, and pull quotes that benefit from a classic serif texture with added dynamism.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, with a confident, editorial feel that reads as established and trustworthy. Its slanted, high-contrast drawing adds a touch of drama and sophistication without becoming decorative, lending it a composed, bookish voice.
This font appears designed as a conventional serif italic with elevated contrast and a sturdy, print-oriented color, aiming to provide a refined, authoritative tone for reading and editorial composition while retaining a distinctly calligraphic italic character.
The design keeps a consistent, dark page color in text while relying on sharp serifs and tapered stroke endings to maintain clarity. The italic angle and energetic stroke endings give it momentum, making it feel more expressive than a purely utilitarian text serif.
