A high-contrast italic serif with sharp, bracketed wedge serifs and a flowing, calligraphic rhythm. Strokes taper noticeably into pointed terminals, and the italic slant is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures. Counters are relatively open, while join points and diagonals show crisp transitions that emphasize a sculpted, engraved feel. The overall color is dark and assertive, with lively letterfit and varied internal shapes that keep the texture energetic in display sizes.
Well suited for editorial typography where an emphatic italic voice is needed—magazine features, pull quotes, headlines, and chapter openings. It also works for posters and branding that want a traditional, premium tone, especially at medium to large sizes where the contrast and tapered details remain clear.
The face projects a classic, bookish sophistication with a slightly dramatic, old-world flourish. Its sweeping italics and sharp terminals add urgency and elegance, making it feel ceremonial and editorial rather than casual.
Designed to deliver a conventional serif foundation with an expressive italic character, combining traditional proportions with strong contrast and tapered, calligraphic detailing for impact in reading-oriented display settings.
Capitals appear broad and stable with prominent serifs, while the lowercase leans into cursive-like motion through curved strokes and angled stress. Numerals match the italic energy and contrast, reading as traditional text figures in spirit with pronounced thick–thin modulation.
