A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a crisp, sharply defined silhouette. Serifs are bracketed and slightly flared, with tapered terminals and a clear diagonal stress that gives the forms a calligraphic rhythm. Capitals are sturdy and compact with strong verticals, while the lowercase shows traditional proportions and a smooth, forward-leaning flow. Numerals appear as oldstyle figures with varying heights and prominent curves, reinforcing a bookish, text-oriented texture.
Works well for magazine and newspaper-style typography, book-cover titling, and prominent emphasis such as pull quotes or lead-ins. It also suits formal communication pieces—programs, invitations, and certificates—where a classic italic serif voice supports a refined presentation.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, projecting a polished, editorial voice. Its slant and high contrast add a touch of drama and speed, reading as confident and slightly formal rather than casual. The texture feels familiar and literary, suited to settings that want a classical, established impression.
Likely designed to deliver a conventional text-serif italic with heightened contrast and a confident, editorial color. The emphasis appears to be on a familiar classical structure with energetic, calligraphic movement for strong typographic emphasis.
Counters are relatively tight in some letters, creating a dense, dark page color at text sizes. The italic construction is expressive but controlled, with consistent stroke behavior and a steady baseline rhythm; it favors impactful emphasis and display-like passages over very small, airy typography.
