A slanted serif with sturdy, softly tapered strokes and clearly bracketed serifs throughout. The forms show a subtle calligraphic influence: curved entry/exit strokes, angled stress, and terminals that often finish with a slight flare rather than a sharp cut. Proportions are moderately wide with a generous footprint in capitals, while lowercase letters keep a comfortable x-height and open counters. Overall spacing and rhythm feel energetic but controlled, producing a dark, even texture in text without looking rigid.
It suits editorial typography and book or magazine settings where an italic voice is needed with authority and warmth. The strong shapes also work well for headlines, pull quotes, and packaging or branding that aims for a traditional, premium feel.
The font conveys a classic, bookish tone with a touch of warmth and motion from its italic slant and gently sculpted serifs. It reads as traditional and trustworthy, with an expressive, humanist undercurrent that keeps it from feeling mechanical.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif reading experience while adding expressive italic energy and a crafted, calligraphic finish. It prioritizes a confident presence and classic tone, balancing legibility with personality.
Capitals have a strong, display-friendly presence, and the italic construction is evident across both cases, giving headings and short passages a sense of forward movement. Numerals are sturdy and clear, matching the serifed, slightly calligraphic character of the letters.
