A slanted serif with pronounced calligraphic modulation and sturdy, bracketed wedge serifs. Strokes show clear thick–thin variation with rounded joins and slightly tapered terminals, producing a lively, ink-like texture. Proportions feel traditionally bookish: capitals are broad and stable, while lowercase forms are compact with a steady rhythm and open counters. Numerals are robust and clearly drawn, maintaining the same angled stress and serif treatment for consistent color in text.
Well suited to long-form reading environments such as books and editorial layouts, where its strong rhythm and clear modulation can carry paragraphs with character. It also performs effectively in headings, pull quotes, and lead-ins that benefit from an emphatic, classic italic voice.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, with an assertive, traditional presence. Its italic movement reads confident and literary, suggesting refinement without feeling delicate. The texture feels authoritative and slightly dramatic, suited to serious, established contexts.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with a more forceful, display-capable presence, combining traditional forms with stronger stroke weight and crisp serif definition to hold up in both text and headline roles.
The slant is noticeable and consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, giving lines of text a continuous forward motion. Serifs remain crisp at display sizes while the internal shapes stay generous enough to avoid clogging in typical text settings.
