A serif italic with sturdy, tapered strokes and subtly flared, bracketed terminals that give the letterforms a carved, calligraphic feel. The shapes show an oldstyle influence with diagonal stress, generous curves, and compact counters that hold up well at display sizes. Serifs are short and energetic rather than long and hairline, and the overall rhythm mixes strong verticals with softly swelling joins. Numerals and capitals feel substantial and slightly varied in width, reinforcing an organic, text-forward texture rather than a rigidly geometric one.
Well suited to editorial headlines, book or magazine styling, and promotional display where a classic italic voice is desired. It can also serve effectively for pull quotes and short passages that benefit from a rich, traditional texture and strong emphasis.
The tone is traditional and editorial, with a warm, slightly dramatic slant that suggests heritage printing and book typography. Its heft and lively terminals read as confident and expressive, lending a sense of seriousness without feeling cold or overly formal.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust, print-oriented italic with classic serif cues and energetic, flared endings—balancing readability with a distinctive, heritage-leaning character for editorial and display use.
In continuous text the italic angle is pronounced and consistent, creating forward momentum and a dense, dark color. The lowercase shows clear differentiation and a slightly rugged, ink-on-paper personality, while the capitals remain stately and weighty for headings or emphasis.
