A slanted serif with pronounced contrast between thick stems and thin hairlines, shaped by calligraphic, pressure-driven strokes. Serifs are bracketed and slightly flared, with tapered terminals and a lively, forward-leaning rhythm. The capitals feel sturdy and traditional, while the lowercase shows more motion and cursive influence, especially in the diagonals and entry/exit strokes. Numerals follow the same italic, oldstyle-leaning construction, keeping the texture continuous across mixed settings.
Well-suited for editorial typography—books, long-form articles, and magazine layouts—where an expressive italic serif can carry tone and hierarchy. It also works effectively for display applications like headlines, pull quotes, invitations, and classic-leaning brand identities that benefit from a traditional, crafted texture.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a formal, editorial confidence. Its energetic italic forms add a sense of movement and personality, giving text a refined but expressive voice rather than a purely neutral one.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif reading experience while leveraging a spirited italic construction to add emphasis and sophistication. It balances sturdy, familiar letterforms with visible stroke logic and classic serif detailing for a timeless, print-oriented feel.
Stroke modulation is strong enough that very small sizes may emphasize hairlines and fine joins, while larger sizes highlight the sculpted serif details and italic flow. Spacing appears designed for continuous reading, producing a dark, even color with clear word-shape emphasis.
