A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced flared stroke endings and wedge-like, often bracketed serifs. The slanted construction feels calligraphic, with sharp entry/exit terminals, tapered joins, and lively stroke modulation that thickens through the main stems and thins to crisp hairlines. Proportions lean traditional with a moderate x-height, clear ascenders/descenders, and slightly varied character widths that create an energetic rhythm in text. Numerals and capitals show strong vertical stress and clean, angled finishing strokes that reinforce the font’s sculpted, engraved-like texture.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and prominent editorial typography where contrast and motion can be appreciated at larger sizes. It also works well for book covers, pull quotes, and brand wordmarks seeking a classic-but-dramatic italic signature. For dense small text, its strong contrast and sharp terminals may be most effective when used selectively for emphasis.
The font conveys a classic, literary tone with an upscale editorial feel. Its sharp italics and dramatic contrast read as confident and expressive, suggesting tradition and refinement rather than neutrality. The overall color on the page is dark and authoritative, suited to emphatic, stylized typography.
Designed to deliver a formal italic with strong typographic personality, combining traditional serif structure with flared, wedge-like finishing strokes. The intention appears to be an expressive, premium-feeling face that brings movement and emphasis to editorial and branding settings while maintaining a historically grounded form language.
The italic is not merely obliqued; letterforms show intentional cursive shaping, including angled terminals, compact counters in some rounds, and a brisk, forward motion. In continuous text it produces a pronounced pattern of thick verticals and thin connecting strokes, yielding a distinctly textured, display-leaning italic voice.
