A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharp, bracketed serifs. Letterforms are slightly compact with a forward-leaning, calligraphic construction that shows tapered terminals and wedge-like entry strokes. Capitals are sturdy and sculpted, with crisp joins and clear stress, while lowercase features energetic curves and occasional swash-like shapes (notably in forms such as g, y, and z). Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic, with strong verticals and refined, tapered details.
Best used for headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other display-forward typography where the contrast and italic movement can carry the design. It also fits classic magazine styling, book cover titling, and premium brand touchpoints that benefit from a formal, editorial voice.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with a distinctly editorial flavor. Its strong contrast and slanted rhythm add drama and sophistication, giving it a confident, slightly theatrical presence suited to elevated or legacy-minded branding.
Likely designed to deliver a conventional serif foundation with added energy from an italic, high-contrast, calligraphic stress—aiming for readable sophistication in display contexts rather than neutral, low-contrast text rendering.
At text sizes the heavy main strokes and tight internal counters can read as dense, while at display sizes the refined contrast and tapered details become more expressive. The italic angle is consistent across cases, helping mixed-case settings feel cohesive and lively.
