A robust italic serif with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a strongly calligraphic stress. Strokes swell and taper with noticeable modulation, and joins are rounded, giving letters a carved-yet-fluid feel. The italic angle is consistent, with compact proportions and slightly variable set widths that create an energetic rhythm. Counters are fairly open for the weight, and terminals often finish with angled cuts or small flares that reinforce the traditional serif construction.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, cover lines, pull quotes, and other display-text settings where a strong italic voice is desired. It can also work for short-to-medium passages in print-like layouts where a classic serif texture and emphasis are more important than a neutral tone.
The font conveys a classic, editorial tone with a confident, slightly dramatic voice. Its pronounced italic movement and sturdy serifs suggest authority and tradition, making it feel literary and formal rather than casual or playful.
The design appears intended to provide a traditional, high-impact italic for emphasis and editorial styling, combining classic serif structure with a distinctly calligraphic flow. Its sturdy weight and energetic rhythm aim to hold attention while remaining readable and typographically familiar.
Uppercase forms read stately and emphatic, while the lowercase shows lively calligraphic shaping (notably in a, e, f, and y) that adds texture in text. Numerals are weighty and highly legible, matching the strong presence of the letters and maintaining a cohesive, print-oriented character.
