A sturdy italic serif with pronounced, bracketed serifs and a calligraphic stroke flow. Forms lean with a consistent rightward slant, showing tapered joins and subtly angled stress that gives counters a lively, oldstyle rhythm. Uppercase letters are compact and weighty with crisp triangular/wedge-like serifs, while the lowercase is more dynamic, with rounded bowls, energetic diagonals, and a single-storey look in several letters. Numerals follow the same italic construction, with curving spines and strong entry/exit strokes that keep the set cohesive in text.
Well-suited for headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where an italic voice needs to carry weight and authority. It can also work for book or magazine titling and other editorial applications where a traditional serif tone is desired, particularly at moderate to larger sizes.
The overall tone is classic and assertive, balancing literary tradition with a slightly dramatic italic energy. It reads as serious and cultivated rather than casual, with enough motion to feel expressive without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended as a robust, text-oriented italic with a traditional serif foundation, offering strong emphasis and a confident page color while preserving a classical reading rhythm.
In the sample text, the italic angle and dense color create a strong typographic presence, especially in mixed-case settings. The wedge-like terminals and tight internal spaces make the texture feel compact and emphatic, favoring display sizes or sturdy editorial emphasis.
