A high-contrast italic serif with sturdy verticals and sharply tapered hairlines. Serifs are predominantly bracketed and wedge-like, with crisp entry/exit strokes that create a lively, calligraphic rhythm. The fit is relatively generous and the letterforms feel broad, while counters remain clear due to pronounced thick–thin modulation. Curves show subtle flare at terminals, and several lowercase forms exhibit softly rounded, slightly swashy joins that add texture without becoming ornamental. Numerals appear oldstyle with varied heights and pronounced slant, matching the text’s forward motion.
Well suited to magazine and newspaper-style typography where a bold italic voice is needed for headlines, decks, and pull quotes. It can also serve book covers, cultural posters, and branded campaign work that benefits from classic serif credibility with added motion. In longer passages it works best for emphasized runs, introductions, or short-form reading where contrast and slant enhance hierarchy.
The overall tone is assertive and editorial, balancing traditional bookish authority with a touch of theatrical flair. Its italic energy feels purposeful and elegant rather than casual, suggesting prestige and emphasis. The contrast and wide stance give it a dramatic, headline-ready presence.
Likely designed to deliver a commanding italic serif for display and emphasis, combining conventional serif structure with heightened contrast and energetic terminals. The wide proportions and expressive stroke endings suggest an aim to stand out in editorial settings while still feeling rooted in classic typography.
In continuous text, the diagonal stress and strong modulation create a distinct texture with clear word shapes, while the heavier joins and tapered terminals can read a bit punchy at very small sizes. The italic is notably expressive, so it works best when that personality is desired rather than as an invisible workhorse.
