This is a slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and sharp, wedge-like terminals that read as braced, bracketed serifs rather than slabs. Strokes show a calligraphic logic: thin joins and hairlines are crisp, while main stems and diagonals swell confidently, producing a strong diagonal rhythm through the italic. Counters are moderately open and the letterforms feel slightly compact, with angled entry/exit strokes and tapered ends that keep the texture energetic. Numerals appear in an oldstyle style, with varying heights and flowing curves that match the italic voice.
Well suited to editorial design where an expressive serif italic is needed for emphasis, standfirsts, or dramatic titling. It can also work in book typography for chapter openers, running heads, or highlighted passages, and in branding contexts that benefit from a classic, cultivated voice.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, with a distinctly expressive italic flair that feels refined rather than casual. Its contrast and sharp finishing details add a touch of drama, making it feel authoritative and a bit theatrical in headlines while still rooted in classic text typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif foundation with an especially characterful italic, emphasizing contrast, tapered finishing, and a traditionally literary texture. It prioritizes elegance and momentum, giving designers a strong typographic accent for emphasis and display while staying within a familiar text-serif idiom.
The sample text shows a dense, lively page color: the italic slant, tight internal shaping, and pointed terminals create a forward-moving cadence that becomes especially striking at larger sizes. The ampersand and figures reinforce the calligraphic, oldstyle character, and the caps have a dignified, inscriptional presence without becoming overly ornate.
