A robust italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and bracketed wedge serifs that create a dark, energetic page color. Curves are full and slightly bulbous, with tapered terminals and occasional teardrop-like endings that hint at a calligraphic influence. The italic slant is consistent and fairly strong, while counters stay open enough to keep word shapes clear at display sizes. Uppercase forms feel broad and stable, and the lowercase shows lively joins and rounded shoulders, producing a rhythmic, slightly bouncy texture across lines of text.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, and editorial titling where a strong italic voice and high-contrast serifs can carry visual hierarchy. It can also work for book covers and branding that want a classic foundation with a more theatrical, calligraphy-tinged finish.
The overall tone is traditional and emphatic, combining old-style warmth with a confident, attention-getting italic flair. It reads as polished and editorial, with enough personality in the terminals and swashes to feel expressive rather than strictly utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif structure with elevated drama through a bold italic posture, sharp contrast, and expressive terminals—aimed at making text feel authoritative while still personable and dynamic.
The numerals share the same italic momentum and heavy contrast, with sculpted curves that maintain the font’s decorative bite. In the sample paragraph, the weight and slant make it most comfortable at larger sizes, where the distinctive serifs and terminals can be appreciated without crowding.
