A robust serif italic with strongly bracketed, flared serifs and a pronounced forward slant. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation, with heavy, rounded main stems and sharper, tapered terminals that create a lively, inked rhythm. The letterforms are generously proportioned and horizontally expansive, with open counters and a steady, rolling baseline flow; capitals feel broad and stable while lowercase maintains compact joins and distinct, slightly calligraphic entry/exit strokes. Figures are similarly slanted and weighty, with curved forms that echo the text’s swelling strokes and tapered ends.
Well-suited for editorial headlines, magazine typography, and prominent pull quotes where an italic serif can add motion and authority. Its broad proportions and strong modulation also make it effective for book covers and poster-style titles, especially when a classic, high-impact tone is desired.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, combining traditional bookish cues with an assertive, display-forward presence. Its energetic slant and swollen stroke shapes give it a confident, slightly dramatic voice that reads as established and purposeful rather than delicate or minimal.
The font appears designed to deliver a traditional serif reading voice in an italic, headline-capable form, emphasizing confident movement, generous width, and clear modulation for expressive, attention-holding typography.
The design leans on smooth curvature and tapered finishing strokes to keep the heavy weight from feeling blunt. Spacing appears comfortable for short-to-medium runs, and the italic construction is strong enough to carry emphasis without relying on extra ornament.
