A robust italic serif with broad proportions and a strongly right-leaning stance. Strokes are weighty with moderate contrast and a subtly calligraphic modulation, producing a lively rhythm across words. Serifs are bracketed and often angled, with softened terminals that keep the heavy color from feeling rigid. Counters are relatively open for the weight, and many joins show slight pinching that adds definition at text sizes. Numerals match the overall slanted, sturdy construction and carry the same confident, compact detailing.
Well suited to editorial headlines and subheads where a bold italic voice is needed, as well as posters and packaging that benefit from a classic serif with punch. It can also serve for short emphasis in longer texts, where its dark color and dynamic slant help highlight key phrases without resorting to decorative styling.
The tone is traditional and authoritative, with an energetic italic drive that reads as persuasive and headline-ready. It suggests editorial seriousness and heritage without feeling delicate, leaning more toward impactful, contemporary emphasis than quiet book typography.
Likely designed to deliver a traditional serif foundation with an assertive italic emphasis—prioritizing strong impact, clear word shapes, and a confident, contemporary editorial feel.
The face produces a dark, even typographic color and strong word shapes, with a noticeable forward momentum from the italic angle. In larger settings, the sculpted joins and angled serif accents become a key part of its character, lending a slightly dramatic, display-friendly presence.
