A robust italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed wedge serifs. The letterforms lean with a steady forward slant and show subtle calligraphic shaping in joins and terminals, producing lively internal rhythm without feeling loose. Proportions are moderately compact with solid vertical stems, open counters, and a slightly varied character width across the set, supporting dense but readable composition. Numerals and capitals share the same high-contrast, sculpted treatment, with sharp apexes and assertive finishing strokes.
Well suited for editorial headlines, pull quotes, and titling where an italic voice is desired with strong presence. It can also work for book covers, magazine features, and promotional materials that benefit from a classic serif aesthetic and confident contrast.
The overall tone reads as editorial and literary—traditional, authoritative, and a bit dramatic due to the strong contrast and italic energy. It feels suited to elevated, serious messaging rather than casual or utilitarian UI text.
The design appears intended to provide a traditional italic companion with heightened contrast and a firm, print-oriented texture, balancing legibility with expressive, headline-ready character.
The italic construction emphasizes tapered entry/exit strokes and decisive serifs, giving lines of text a flowing, rightward momentum. In display sizes it presents clear, stylish texture; in longer settings it maintains a consistent, dark typographic color.
