This is a vigorous italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharply tapered terminals. Serifs are bracketed and wedge-like, with a flowing, calligraphic stroke logic that keeps curves lively and counters open. Capitals are compact and weighty with crisp entry/exit strokes, while the lowercase shows a traditional italic construction with single-storey forms and energetic ascenders/descenders. Figures follow the same italic rhythm with clear contrast and sturdy silhouettes, giving the overall texture a dark, confident color on the page.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazine features, book typography (especially for emphasis and running italics), pull quotes, and refined branding where a classic serif voice is desired. It can also work effectively for titles and subheads that benefit from an energetic italic presence.
The tone feels traditional and literary, with a confident, old-world formality. Its brisk slant and strong contrast add drama and emphasis, making it read as persuasive and editorial rather than casual.
The design appears intended as a conventional text-serif italic with a stronger-than-average presence, combining traditional construction with a darker, more assertive stroke. It aims to deliver clear reading texture while providing expressive emphasis for editorial and literary settings.
Spacing appears comfortable for continuous text, and the slanted forms maintain clarity through well-defined inner shapes. The design’s sharp terminals and strong diagonals create a sense of motion, especially noticeable in the capitals and numerals.
