A high-contrast italic serif with sharply tapered strokes, strong thick-to-thin transitions, and compact, slightly condensed proportions. Serifs are small and wedge-like with subtle bracketing, and many terminals finish in crisp, angled cuts that reinforce the slanted, calligraphic construction. Curves (notably in C, O, S, and numerals) are rounded yet tightly controlled, while joins and diagonals (V, W, X, Y, K) read brisk and energetic. The overall rhythm is dark and assertive, with a sturdy baseline presence and lively italic movement through counters and entry/exit strokes.
Well suited to headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where contrast and italic motion can add emphasis. It also fits book and magazine work—particularly for titles, section openers, and cover typography—and can support branding that aims for a traditional, authoritative voice.
The tone is classic and editorial, leaning toward formal, print-oriented typography with a slightly dramatic, headline-ready flair. Its energetic slant and pronounced contrast evoke traditional publishing and refined branding rather than casual or utilitarian settings.
Likely designed to provide a conventional serif foundation with a distinctly italic, high-contrast character that reads confident and polished at display sizes. The shapes prioritize impact and classic print flavor, balancing refined details with a dark, energetic line texture.
The lowercase shows a traditional italic structure (single-storey a and g, flowing shapes in n/m/u), and the figures appear robust and display-friendly, maintaining the same contrast and angled terminal logic as the letters. Overall spacing feels purposeful and a bit tight, emphasizing a cohesive, impactful texture in lines of text.
