A bold italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a strong forward slant. Serifs are bracketed and often wedge-like, giving terminals a sculpted, slightly calligraphic finish. Counters are relatively open and the curves show diagonal stress, while joins and shoulders feel firm and weighty. Overall spacing and proportions read comfortably text-like, with energetic rhythm from the italic angle and high-contrast strokes.
Well suited to editorial typography where an italic voice is needed at display-to-text sizes, such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and book-jacket titling. It can also serve for emphasis within longer-form typography when a strong, high-contrast italic is desired.
The face conveys a traditional, editorial tone with a confident, slightly theatrical emphasis. Its combination of sturdy stems and sharp, tapered serifs adds urgency and drama without leaving the realm of conventional book serifs. The italic flavor feels expressive and literary rather than decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a robust, traditional serif look with an expressive italic stance—balancing readability with a more emphatic, high-contrast presence for editorial and literary settings.
Uppercase forms appear steady and formal, while the lowercase shows more movement through angled entry/exit strokes and more pronounced italic construction. Numerals carry the same contrast and serifed structure, helping headings and short text set with a cohesive, classic presence.
