A robust italic serif with pronounced stroke modulation and a slightly calligraphic, chiseled feel. Serifs are clearly bracketed and wedge-like, with pointed terminals on many diagonals and a forward-leaning rhythm throughout. Capitals are wide and steady with strong vertical stress, while the lowercase shows lively movement, generous curves, and compact joins that keep counters fairly tight at text sizes. Figures follow the same italic construction, with oldstyle-like shapes and noticeable contrast between thick stems and fine hairlines.
Best suited for display and short-to-medium text where a strong italic voice is desired—book covers, magazine headlines, section openers, pull quotes, and formal announcements. It can also work for setting emphasized passages in editorial layouts when a bold, classic italic is needed to carry hierarchy.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, projecting confidence and gravitas. Its energetic italic stance and sharp finishing strokes add drama and momentum, giving it a bookish, old-world sophistication without feeling delicate.
The font appears designed as a confident, traditional italic for editorial typography, combining strong contrast with wide proportions to create a distinctive, emphatic texture. Its sharpened serifs and sculpted forms suggest an intent to evoke classic print authority while remaining energetic and expressive.
The design maintains a consistent slant and contrast across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, with a distinctly sculpted look on diagonals and curved letters. The texture in running text is dark and rhythmic, favoring presence and emphasis over light, airy color.
