A high-contrast serif italic with a strong rightward slant and crisp, sharply cut serifs. Strokes show pronounced thick–thin modulation with tapered joins and pointed terminals, producing a lively, calligraphic rhythm. The capitals are sturdy and compact with wedge-like, bracketed serifs, while the lowercase features energetic entry/exit strokes and a notably curvy italic structure (single-storey forms and angled stress). Numerals follow the same contrast and slant, with open counters and tapered terminals that keep them visually consistent with the text.
Well-suited for editorial typography such as magazine headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and book-jacket titling where an italic voice is desired. It can also work for formal branding lines and short blocks of emphasized text that benefit from a strong, classic serif italic texture.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, with a confident, slightly dramatic presence. Its brisk slant and sharp detailing feel formal and literary, lending emphasis and elegance without becoming ornamental.
The design appears intended as a conventional text-serif italic with heightened contrast and a more emphatic, display-ready color. It aims to deliver a traditional, authoritative feel while using sharp terminals and dynamic stroke modulation to add momentum and distinction.
The dense black strokes and tight interior shapes create a strong page color at display and subhead sizes. Pointed terminals and brisk diagonals add sparkle, but the high contrast and active italic forms can feel intense in long, small-size passages.
