A high-contrast italic serif with broad proportions and a sturdy, weighty presence. Stems and curves show a pronounced thick–thin rhythm, with sharp, wedge-like bracketed serifs and tapered terminals that emphasize the slanted, calligraphic construction. Counters are generous and open, and the overall color is dark and assertive while maintaining clear internal space. Figures follow the same italic stress and contrast, with smooth curves and strong entry/exit strokes.
Well suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and magazine or journal layouts where an emphatic italic serif is desired. It can also work for book-cover titling and formal invitations when a classic, high-contrast typographic accent is needed.
The tone is traditional and literary, with a confident, formal voice. Its sweeping italic forms and crisp serifs add a sense of drama and sophistication, suggesting editorial seriousness rather than casual everyday text.
Likely designed as a conventional text-serif italic with elevated contrast and presence, aiming to provide a polished editorial voice and strong typographic emphasis. The wide set and dark color suggest an intention to perform especially well in display and emphasis roles within traditional page typography.
The italics are noticeably energetic, with angled joins and pronounced stroke modulation that gives lines of text a lively forward motion. The letterforms favor clarity at display and subhead sizes, where the contrast and serif sharpness read as intentional and refined.
