A robust italic serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a gently calligraphic construction. Strokes show a clear diagonal stress with moderate thick–thin modulation, and terminals often end in teardrop or tapered shapes that keep the forms lively. The lowercase is compact and rhythmic, with pronounced entry/exit strokes and a slight forward momentum; ascenders are relatively tall and the italic slant is steady across letters and figures. Numerals follow the same oldstyle-influenced, flowing logic, pairing rounded bowls with tapered joins for a cohesive text color.
Works well for editorial typography where a pronounced italic is needed for subheads, pull quotes, or emphasis within text. Its dense, confident color and traditional serif detailing also suit book interiors, magazine layouts, and heritage-leaning branding that benefits from a classic, literary tone.
The overall tone feels traditional and bookish, with a warm, humanist energy rather than a crisp modern sharpness. Its strong italic voice reads as expressive and authoritative, suitable for emphasis while still remaining grounded and familiar.
Designed to deliver a strong, traditional italic companion with enough calligraphic character to stand out, while maintaining the disciplined proportions and consistency needed for sustained reading. The aim appears to be an expressive yet conventional serif voice that performs reliably in text-driven settings.
Round letters like C, O, and G are broad and open, while forms such as a, e, and s show distinctive italic shaping that adds personality without becoming decorative. The text sample suggests sturdy readability at display-to-text crossover sizes, with an even, dark texture and consistent slant that holds together in longer lines.
