A robust italic serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and a forward-leaning, calligraphic construction. Serifs are sharply tapered and mostly bracketed, helping the heavy stems transition into fine hairlines without looking brittle. Capitals feel compact and weighty with crisp terminals, while the lowercase shows energetic cursive influence—single‑storey forms, narrow joins, and a lively baseline rhythm. Numerals echo the same strong contrast and italic momentum, with rounded figures and firm, sculpted terminals.
Well suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other emphasis-driven typography where an italic voice is desired. Its strong contrast and sturdy weight also make it effective for magazine layouts, book cover titling, and brand wordmarks that need a classic yet energetic presence.
The overall tone is traditional and confident, combining editorial polish with a slightly flamboyant, old-style energy. It reads as formal and expressive rather than neutral, lending emphasis and drama without drifting into novelty.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice with a pronounced italic personality—balancing strong, dark color with refined hairlines to create expressive emphasis in editorial and display settings.
Spacing and shapes create a distinctly varied rhythm: wide, rounded forms (like O/Q) contrast with tighter letters and angled strokes, giving text a noticeable pulse at display sizes. The italic is integral to the design—slant, entry/exit strokes, and terminal shaping work together as a coherent style rather than a simple oblique.
