A high-contrast serif with a pronounced italic slant and brisk, calligraphic stroke modulation. The letterforms show sharp, bracketed serifs and tapered terminals, with a strong diagonal stress that gives counters a slightly dynamic, forward-leaning texture. Proportions skew broad with ample letter width, while the rhythm remains consistent across caps and lowercase, producing a dark, polished typographic color in running text. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic with clear, open shapes and crisp finishing details.
Well suited to editorial headlines, magazine typography, book-jacket titles, and pull quotes where a refined, emphatic italic voice is desirable. It can also work for short-form text in print or branding applications that benefit from a traditional serif presence with strong contrast.
The overall tone feels classic and editorial, projecting confidence and formality with a touch of drama from the steep italic and sharp serifs. It evokes bookish refinement and a traditional publishing sensibility, leaning more elegant than casual.
Likely designed to provide a conventional serif foundation with a more theatrical italic emphasis—delivering classic readability while adding motion and hierarchy through pronounced slant, sharp serifs, and high-contrast stroke shaping.
In the sample text, the slanted forms and strong thick–thin contrast create a lively line flow that reads well at display and larger text sizes, while the wide set and pointed details make it visually assertive. Curves and joins are clean and controlled, keeping the style conventional despite the energetic italic angle.
