A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharply finished, bracketed serifs. The italic angle is assertive and consistent, with tapered entry/exit strokes that give many forms a calligraphic flow. Counters are relatively open and the curves feel sculpted rather than geometric, while joins and terminals stay crisp. Numerals and capitals show strong weight and clear silhouette, and the overall rhythm reads as a lively, slanted text face with confident stroke endings.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium text where a strong italic voice is desirable—headlines, subheads, pull quotes, magazine layouts, and book-cover typography. It can also work for branding and packaging that benefits from a traditional yet dynamic serif presence.
The tone is classic and editorial, with a slightly theatrical flourish from the steep italic and strong contrast. It feels refined and authoritative, leaning toward literary and fashion-forward presentation rather than purely utilitarian text.
Likely designed to provide a robust, high-impact italic companion with classic serif conventions, emphasizing sharp contrast and calligraphic motion for editorial emphasis and expressive typography.
Round letters show elegant stress and tight, clean transitions into serifs, and several lowercase forms exhibit subtle ball-like terminals and tapered strokes that add warmth without becoming ornate. The texture in paragraphs appears dark and energetic, with noticeable diagonal movement across words.
