A robust italic serif with pronounced bracketed serifs and gently tapered terminals. Strokes show a calligraphic modulation, with rounded joins and a slightly cushioned feel that keeps the texture dense but not rigid. The italic sets a steady rightward slant with lively curves in letters like a, e, s, and g, and a single-storey a paired with a looped g that reinforces an oldstyle rhythm. Numerals are strong and traditional, with clear counters and sturdy verticals that hold up well at display sizes.
Well suited to editorial typography where a strong italic voice is needed for emphasis, pull quotes, or subheads, and it can also serve as a primary serif in book-like layouts at comfortable sizes. Its sturdy forms and traditional details make it a good fit for headlines, literary branding, and packaging that benefits from a classic, trustworthy presence.
The font conveys a classic, literary tone—confident and traditional, with a warm, bookish softness rather than a sharp, high-drama elegance. Its italic energy feels expressive and editorial, suitable for emphasizing language without becoming flamboyant.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, readable serif with an expressive italic character—balancing traditional book typography cues with enough weight and presence to perform in prominent text and display settings.
The overall color is dark and even, with compact spacing and a consistent baseline that reads as authoritative in paragraphs. Curved letters have generous bowls and slightly flattened curves that help maintain clarity, while the italic forms keep recognizable shapes for continuous reading.
