A robust italic serif with bracketed serifs and a pronounced rightward slant. Strokes show a calligraphic rhythm with diagonal stress and moderate thick–thin modulation, producing dark, confident letterforms. Terminals are often wedge-like and slightly flared, and curves transition through soft, rounded joins that keep counters open despite the heavy color. Overall proportions feel classically bookish, with steady spacing and an italic movement that reads as continuous and deliberate.
Well suited to editorial typography where a strong italic is needed for emphasis, such as magazines, book interiors, and literary layouts. It can also work effectively in headlines and pull quotes, where its dark color and crisp serifs provide clear hierarchy and a classic tone.
The tone is traditional and literary, with a formal, editorial presence. Its strong italic posture adds urgency and emphasis while retaining a conventional, trustworthy texture suited to long-form reading. The weight and sharp serifs lend a slightly dramatic, old-world seriousness.
Likely intended as a conventional text serif italic that balances readability with a decisive, high-impact presence. The calligraphic stress and bracketed serifs suggest an aim to evoke classic print traditions while providing enough weight and slant to function strongly for emphasis and display within editorial systems.
The design maintains a consistent, inked texture across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, with lively diagonals in letters like K, V, W, X, and the italic lowercase forms giving a distinctly text-oriented cadence. Numerals appear lining and sturdy, matching the overall dark color and serifed finish.
