A robust italic serif with compact, bracketed serifs and a pronounced rightward slant. Strokes show clear modulation and a slightly calligraphic construction, with wedge-like head serifs and soft, rounded joins that keep counters relatively tight. Capitals are broad and steady with strong horizontals and defined terminals, while the lowercase combines sturdy stems with lively curves and teardrop-like endings on letters such as a, c, e, and s. Numerals match the text color with heavy, rounded forms and consistent stress, maintaining an even rhythm across lines despite the dynamic italic angle.
It suits editorial headlines, book-cover titling, pull quotes, and other display applications where an italic serif can add emphasis and momentum. In short passages or featured text, it can deliver a compact, impactful texture with a traditional, print-forward character.
The overall tone feels traditional and editorial—serious, authoritative, and a bit dramatic. Its strong slant and weight give it a confident, energetic voice, while the conventional serif structure keeps it grounded and familiar.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic text-serif voice with heightened italic expressiveness—combining conventional proportions with a heavier, more dramatic slant for emphasis in editorial and publishing contexts.
The italic angle is prominent enough to read as emphatic even at larger sizes, and the dense internal spaces can create a dark, cohesive texture in paragraphs. Curved letters lean into a slightly swashed, old-style flavor without becoming ornate, supporting a classic printed-page impression.
