An italic serif with prominent, squared slab-like serifs and compact joins that create a firm, grounded texture on the line. Strokes show noticeable but not extreme contrast, with crisp, flat-ended terminals and a consistent diagonal stress. The forms are moderately condensed in feel with lively rhythm, and the italic construction is more calligraphic than mechanical, especially in the lowercase.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, pull quotes, book and magazine titling, posters, and branding that wants a classic serif with extra bite. It can also work for short-to-medium text passages where an italic voice is desired, though the assertive serifs and lively slant make it especially effective for display and emphasis.
This typeface conveys a literary, old‑world tone with a touch of editorial drama. The slanted posture and sturdy serifs give it confidence and momentum, reading as classic and slightly theatrical rather than minimalist or purely utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver italic emphasis with strong structure: a readable serif voice that still feels energetic and distinctive. Its slabby serifs and clear silhouettes suggest a goal of maintaining firmness and presence even when set at larger sizes or in short, punchy lines.
The numerals and capitals maintain the same firm slab-serif treatment, keeping a consistent texture across mixed settings. The italic angle is steady and contributes to a cohesive forward motion in paragraphs.
