A robust italic serif with pronounced, bracketed serifs and a noticeable forward lean. Strokes show moderate thick–thin modulation with rounded joins and softened terminals, giving the letterforms a slightly calligraphic, oldstyle flavor rather than a rigid geometric build. Proportions are somewhat compact with strong black presence, and the rhythm is energetic due to the slanted stress and lively curves in bowls and shoulders. Numerals follow the same italic construction, maintaining consistent weight and serif treatment for a cohesive texture in running text.
Best suited to headlines, deck lines, and emphasized passages where a bold italic serif can add momentum and presence. It also fits book and magazine contexts—covers, section openers, and pull quotes—where a traditional serif voice with extra weight helps establish hierarchy and tone.
The font communicates a classic, editorial tone with a confident, slightly dramatic italic voice. Its weight and energetic slant feel assertive and traditional, suited to content that wants authority without looking sterile.
The design appears intended to provide a strong, readable italic serif for display and emphasis, combining classic bracketed serifs and moderate contrast with a dark, energetic texture. It prioritizes impact and traditional credibility while retaining enough warmth and motion for expressive typography.
Caps read sturdy and stable with broad, well-supported serifs, while lowercase forms show more movement through curved entries, tapered joins, and angled terminals. The overall texture is dark and steady at display sizes, with clear differentiation between characters and a strong page color when set in paragraphs.
