A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. The italic construction is evident in the consistent forward slant, the diagonal stress in rounded forms, and the gently tapered entry/exit strokes. Capitals are sturdy and slightly condensed in feel, with sharp, wedge-like terminals, while lowercase forms show compact apertures and a lively, calligraphic rhythm. Numerals match the text color with strong contrast and italic inclination, maintaining a cohesive, dark typographic texture.
Well-suited for editorial settings where italic is used for emphasis, pull quotes, and prominent headings. The strong contrast and dark color also work for book and article titles, magazine typography, and formal print pieces such as invitations or programs, particularly at display and subhead sizes where the stroke modulation can read clearly.
The font conveys a traditional, authoritative tone associated with bookish and editorial typography. Its assertive weight and dramatic contrast add a sense of sophistication and ceremony, while the italic movement introduces energy and emphasis without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended as a conventional italic serif with elevated contrast and a confident color, offering a traditional voice for text and display use. It prioritizes elegant calligraphic motion and firm serifed structure to deliver emphasis, hierarchy, and a distinctly literary feel.
In paragraphs it creates a dense, high-ink texture with clear word-shape and strong emphasis, especially in capitals and curved letters. The Q’s sweeping tail and the punchy, tapered terminals contribute to a slightly theatrical, old-style editorial character, best used where contrast and presence are desired.
