A condensed italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a clearly angled, calligraphic stress. Serifs are sharp and wedge-like with subtle bracketing, and many joins taper into pointed terminals, giving the outlines a crisp, carved feel. Curves are compact and slightly pinched, counters are relatively tight, and the overall rhythm is energetic, with strong diagonals and a forward lean that keeps the texture lively in words. Figures follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, with narrow proportions and decisive entry/exit strokes.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other editorial display roles where a classic italic voice is desired. It can also work for short passages or lead-ins when you want a traditional serif texture with extra emphasis, particularly in print-like layouts.
The tone is traditional and authoritative, with a distinctly editorial, old-world polish. Its strong contrast and sharp finishing details add drama and urgency, making it feel more emphatic than a quiet book face while still reading as classic serif typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif foundation with a more expressive, calligraphic italic slant—prioritizing elegance and emphasis through sharp serifs, tight proportions, and pronounced contrast.
In text, the slanted forms and tapered terminals create a sparkling pattern, especially in mixed-case settings. The condensed proportions help set dense lines while the sharp serifs and contrast keep the letterforms visually present at display sizes.
