A robust italic serif with bracketed serifs and a gently calligraphic construction. The letters show medium contrast with rounded joins, soft terminals, and slightly tapered strokes that keep counters open at text sizes. Proportions lean broad in capitals, while lowercase forms have a steady rhythm and pronounced entry/exit strokes that emphasize forward motion. Numerals are sturdy and readable, with consistent weight and clear differentiation between similar shapes.
This style performs well in editorial typography, especially for emphasis within serif text, pull quotes, and expressive subheads. Its sturdy build and open counters also make it suitable for magazine and book settings, where an italic needs to carry tone without sacrificing clarity.
The overall tone is classic and bookish, with a formal, editorial feel. Its italic has a traditional, literary voice—energetic without becoming decorative—suited to emphasis that still reads as part of a conventional text system.
The design appears intended as a dependable, conventional italic companion for text typography, balancing traditional serif detailing with enough weight and presence to work in both continuous reading and short display lines.
The italic slant is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, and the serif treatment remains uniform, helping long lines of text maintain even color. Letterforms avoid sharp extremes, favoring rounded shaping and controlled curves that support comfortable reading.
