A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a steady, print-oriented rhythm. The letterforms show bracketed serifs, tapered terminals, and crisp joins that keep counters open even in heavier strokes. Proportions lean broad with generous sidebearings and a robust presence; curves are smooth and slightly calligraphic, while diagonals and serifs sharpen the silhouette. Figures and capitals carry the same assertive contrast and angled stress, producing a cohesive, high-impact texture in continuous text.
This font is well-suited to editorial typography such as magazine features, headlines, and subheads where a bold, classic italic voice is desired. It can also perform effectively on book covers and promotional materials that benefit from high contrast and strong typographic character.
The tone is distinctly editorial and literary, blending traditional bookish authority with a brisk, energetic slant. It feels formal and confident, with a hint of dramatic emphasis suited to statements, headlines, and pull quotes.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif foundation with a more emphatic, italicized voice—pairing traditional proportions and serifs with strong contrast to create punchy, readable display text.
In the sample text, the strong contrast and sizable serifs create a dark, lively color that reads best with comfortable line spacing. The italic angle is consistent across cases and numerals, giving the face a unified, forward-moving cadence.
