A robust italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a rightward slant throughout. The letterforms show tapered, wedge-like serifs and frequent ball terminals, giving strokes a calligraphic, drawn-with-a-pen feel despite the substantial weight. Counters are moderately open and the curves are energetic, with noticeable entry/exit flicks and angled stress that create a lively rhythm across words. Capitals are broad and steady, while the lowercase mixes compact joins with distinctive swashes and descenders that add texture without becoming overly ornate.
Best suited to editorial headlines, cover typography, and other display-forward settings where the italic energy and contrast can be appreciated. It also works well for pull quotes and short-form emphasis in magazines or book typography, particularly when a classic serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, with a confident, slightly dramatic flavor suited to classic publishing aesthetics. Its strong contrast and italic motion lend it a sense of emphasis and momentum, reading as elegant but also forceful and attention-grabbing.
The font appears designed to deliver a conventional serif reading tradition with heightened italic expressiveness—combining strong contrast, crisp serifs, and lively terminals to add authority and flair in titles and emphasized text.
The design’s personality comes through in the prominent terminals (notably in letters like a, f, j, and y) and the crisp, sculpted serifs that keep forms sharp at display sizes. Numerals match the italic stance and contrast, maintaining a cohesive, old-world text-and-title voice.
