A robust italic serif with strongly bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a pronounced rightward slant. Strokes show clear, moderate thick–thin modulation with an oblique stress, producing crisp edges and energetic curves. Counters are relatively open for the weight, while terminals and serifs form sharp, slightly flared finishes that give the outlines a sculpted, ink-on-paper feel. Proportions skew broad and sturdy, with assertive capitals, rounded bowls, and numerals that read as dense, traditional figures suited to display sizing.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other editorial typography where a bold italic can carry emphasis without losing a traditional serif character. It can also work well for book covers, posters, and branding or packaging that wants a classic, print-forward tone with strong contrast and presence.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, with a confident, old-style gravitas tempered by a lively italic motion. It feels authoritative and traditional rather than minimal, suggesting printed heritage—newspaper, book, or poster—while staying punchy and contemporary enough for modern layouts.
Designed to deliver a forceful italic serif voice that combines traditional bookish forms with display-level impact. The intention appears to be emphasis and personality—creating a dense, readable texture and a distinctive wedge-serif silhouette that stands out in titles and featured text.
The italic construction is emphatic, with angled entry/exit strokes and wedge terminals that create a rhythmic, forward-leaning texture in paragraphs. At larger sizes the crisp serifs and modulation become a key visual feature, giving headlines a strong typographic voice.
