A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a strongly calligraphic stress. Serifs are wedge-like and often bracketed into the stems, with crisp, tapering terminals that give the outlines a carved, inked feel. Uppercase forms are tall and slightly narrow with decisive diagonals, while the lowercase shows lively entry/exit strokes, compact bowls, and angled shoulders that emphasize forward motion. Numerals follow the same italic rhythm, with open counters and sharp turns that keep the set visually energetic and cohesive in text.
This style fits best in editorial environments where an expressive italic is desired: magazine headlines, pull quotes, opening spreads, and book or article titling. It can also work for short bursts of emphasized text—such as subheads, standfirsts, or cover lines—where contrast and slant are meant to be seen.
The overall tone is traditional and polished, with an editorial gravitas that reads as refined rather than casual. Its brisk italic angle and high contrast add drama and momentum, lending a confident, slightly theatrical voice to headlines and emphasis text.
The design appears intended as a conventional text-serif italic with heightened contrast and a display-forward presence. It prioritizes a classic, literary feel while adding extra snap through sharp terminals, wedge serifs, and a vigorous forward slant.
In running text the rhythm is driven by strong verticals and clear diagonal movement, producing a dark, punchy color at display sizes. The punctuation and figures inherit the same sharp, tapered detailing, helping the font maintain a consistent flavor across mixed-content settings.
