A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and bracketed, wedge-like terminals. The curves are full and slightly compressed in places, with a lively diagonal stress that carries through round letters and bowls. Serifs are crisp but not hairline-delicate, and the overall texture reads dark and steady in text while retaining sharp details in joins and terminals. Numerals appear as oldstyle figures with ascenders/descenders, matching the flowing, text-oriented rhythm of the letters.
Well suited to editorial typography where a strong, traditional voice is desired—magazine headlines, book-cover titling, and feature intros. It can also work for pull quotes and section openers where the slanted rhythm adds emphasis without leaving the realm of conventional text serifs.
The tone is traditional and editorial, combining formality with a sense of motion. Its strong contrast and assertive slant feel confident and cultivated, suggesting print heritage and literary polish rather than a neutral, utilitarian voice.
This design appears intended as a robust, text-oriented italic that preserves classical serif manners while adding energy through a strong slant and clear contrast. The oldstyle numerals and bracketed serifs reinforce a bookish, print-centric direction aimed at confident, polished setting.
The italic construction is prominent across both cases, with expressive entry/exit strokes and slightly calligraphic shaping in letters like a, f, g, and y. Spacing and proportions support continuous reading, while the darker color makes it particularly impactful at medium to large sizes.
