A slanted serif with a distinctly oldstyle, calligraphic construction and bracketed serifs throughout. Strokes show noticeable modulation with angled stress, producing round, softly swelling bowls and tapered joins. Capitals feel sturdy and traditionally proportioned, while the lowercase is more animated, with pronounced entry/exit strokes and a slightly uneven, handwritten rhythm. Letterforms are wide in places and more compact in others, giving the texture a gently irregular, humanist flow; numerals share the same italicized, tapered treatment and read as traditional, text-oriented figures.
Well suited to editorial typography and book work where an italic voice is needed for emphasis, quotations, or lead-ins, and it can also serve as a characterful display italic for headlines and pull quotes. Its traditional detailing makes it a natural fit for packaging, cultural branding, and printed materials that benefit from a classic serif presence.
The overall tone is classic and literary, with a confident, slightly theatrical flourish. It suggests a traditional print voice—authoritative and refined—yet with enough motion and personality to feel warm rather than strictly mechanical.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif reading voice with an expressive italic cadence—combining oldstyle proportions and bracketed serifs with calligraphic movement for a more personable, print-classic texture.
In continuous text the italic slant and energetic terminals create a strong forward rhythm, and the heavier color can build a dense page texture at larger sizes. The most distinctive impression comes from the combination of sturdy capitals and more expressive lowercase shapes, which adds contrast and character without leaving the realm of conventional serif typography.
