A high-contrast serif with a pronounced rightward slant and robust, bracketed serifs. Strokes show a calligraphic flavor: strong thick-to-thin transitions, tapered terminals, and diagonal stress, with rounded joins and slightly flared endings on several letters. Proportions feel generously set with ample interior space, while capitals are broad and sturdy; lowercase forms keep a conventional text rhythm with clear ascenders/descenders and an overall smooth, continuous flow. Figures are oldstyle-leaning in feel, with noticeable curves and varying widths that match the italic texture of the letters.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other editorial display settings where contrast and slant can add emphasis. It can also work for short-form reading such as intros, captions, or elegant callouts, especially when you want a classic serif voice with extra momentum.
The font reads as confident and traditional, with an editorial seriousness that also feels energetic due to the strong slant and contrast. Its tone suggests established print typography—suited to statements that should feel credible, literary, and a bit dramatic.
Likely designed to provide a forceful italic serif for editorial typography—combining traditional serif construction with heightened contrast and a lively, calligraphic cadence for strong emphasis and refined display impact.
In the sample text, the slanted forms create a fast, cohesive texture, and the weight gives strong presence at display sizes. The italic construction is integral rather than a simple oblique, with many letters showing curved entry/exit strokes that enhance motion.
