A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a sturdy, dark color on the page. Serifs are bracketed and often wedge-like, with tapered entry strokes and crisp, angled terminals that give the outlines a slightly calligraphic feel despite the strong weight. Counters are relatively compact and the spacing feels purposeful, creating a rhythmic, forward-leaning texture that remains readable at text sizes. Numerals follow the same energetic slant and contrast, with bold, sculpted forms that hold their shape well in running copy.
Well-suited to magazines, book typography, and other editorial settings where a strong italic voice is needed for emphasis. It also works effectively for headlines, subheads, and pull quotes that benefit from a classic serif character with extra energy, and for branding applications aiming for a traditional yet animated presence.
The tone is classic and assertive, with an editorial gravitas that also feels dynamic due to the pronounced slant and sharp detailing. It suggests tradition and credibility, while the lively stroke endings add a sense of motion and personality.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust, high-impact italic serif that can carry emphasis without becoming delicate, combining conventional serif structure with calligraphic tapering and sharp terminals for a distinctive, editorial-forward voice.
Uppercase forms read stately and structured, while the lowercase introduces more cursive influence, especially in the curved joins and angled shoulders. The overall silhouette is crisp and decisive, favoring strong diagonals and tight internal space over softness.
