A right-leaning serif with sturdy, tapered strokes and clearly bracketed serifs that often resolve into wedge-like terminals. The forms are compact and slightly condensed, with a lively, calligraphic modulation that keeps counters open and stems firm. Curves and joins show a traditional, oldstyle influence—noticeable in the round letters and the angled stress—while the overall rhythm stays even enough for continuous reading. Numerals and capitals share the same forward energy and strong top/bottom anchoring, giving text a dark, confident texture.
Well suited for editorial typography such as magazines, book interiors, and literary publishing where a classic italic voice is desirable. It also works effectively for emphatic roles—subheads, pull quotes, and short headlines—where its forward slant and strong serifs can add character without becoming overly decorative.
The font conveys a classic, editorial tone with a distinctly traditional voice. Its italic energy and pronounced serifs create a sense of motion and emphasis, lending text a literary, authoritative feel rather than a neutral, purely utilitarian one.
The design appears intended to provide a traditional serif italic with strong presence and reliable readability, combining oldstyle influence with a darker, more emphatic texture. Its compact proportions and energetic stroke endings suggest a focus on expressive editorial setting as well as continuous text.
The lowercase shows clear italic construction with single-storey shapes where expected and pronounced entry/exit strokes, contributing to a dynamic word shape. Capitals are robust and slightly formal, pairing well with the assertive color in paragraphs. Overall spacing appears tight-to-moderate, reinforcing a dense, print-like texture at text sizes.
