A slanted serif face with sturdy, squared-off slab serifs that are often gently bracketed into the stems. Strokes show moderate contrast with a clear, calligraphic axis, and the italic construction produces flowing joins and tapered entries in the lowercase. The capitals feel classical and slightly condensed in posture, with broad curves and stable horizontals, while the lowercase features a single-storey a and g and a lively rhythm. Numerals are clear and slightly varied in width, keeping the overall color even while preserving the italic movement.
Well-suited to editorial and book typography where an italic with strong personality is needed for emphasis, pull quotes, and short passages. It can also serve in refined branding, packaging, or titling where a classic, print-rooted tone is desired without becoming overly delicate.
The overall tone is scholarly and literary, evoking traditional print and editorial typography rather than a technical or geometric voice. Its slant and soft bracketing add warmth and a humanist feel, giving text a gently vintage, cultured character.
Likely designed to blend traditional italic calligraphic movement with sturdy slab serifs for a distinctive, readable texture. The aim appears to be an expressive italic that still holds up in text settings, offering warmth and authority in equal measure.
The italic angle is consistent and readable, with open counters and rounded joins that help maintain clarity in running text. Squared slab terminals provide a grounded finish that contrasts pleasantly with the more fluid inner strokes.
