A robust italic serif with bracketed wedge serifs and a noticeably calligraphic, right-leaning construction. Strokes show moderate contrast with rounded joins and softened terminals, giving counters and bowls a full, slightly organic feel. Proportions are sturdy and slightly compact, with generous curves in letters like C, O, and S and a rhythmic, forward-driving italic cadence across words. Numerals and capitals maintain the same energetic slant and weight, reading solid and prominent rather than delicate.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where a bold italic voice is desired. It can also serve as a strong accent face in editorial layouts, book covers, and branding systems that want classic serif cues with extra momentum and emphasis.
The overall tone is traditional and confident, with an editorial, bookish flavor. Its pronounced italic motion adds emphasis and personality, lending a sense of momentum that feels persuasive and expressive without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional serif foundation with a more assertive, expressive italic character for emphasis-heavy settings. It prioritizes strong typographic color, clear serif structure, and a lively rhythm for impactful editorial communication.
The italic angle is consistent and fairly strong, and the serif shaping tends toward tapered, wedge-like forms rather than hairline finishes. Apertures are moderate and counters stay open enough for clarity at display and larger text sizes, while the heavy color can build density in long passages.
