A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a right-leaning, calligraphic rhythm. Serifs are bracketed and often wedge-like, with pointed terminals and tapered joins that give strokes a crisp, sculpted finish. Curves are full and slightly swollen at stress points, while counters stay fairly open for a dense, emphatic color. The uppercase shows sturdy, traditional proportions with energetic diagonals, and the lowercase includes distinctly italic structures (single-storey forms where expected, with flowing entry/exit strokes and a lively baseline cadence). Numerals are similarly slanted and sharp, mixing strong vertical stems with angled cuts and tapered terminals.
Well-suited for editorial headlines, magazine features, and pull quotes where an italic voice is desired without losing authority. It can also serve book-cover typography and refined branding applications that benefit from a classic serif presence with added dynamism.
The overall tone is traditional and confident, with a bookish, editorial feel. Its italic energy reads as assertive and expressive rather than delicate, suggesting emphasis, quotation, or a refined dramatic voice.
Likely designed to deliver a conventional serif foundation with an emphatic italic character—combining traditional proportions with strong contrast and sharp, calligraphy-informed terminals to create an expressive, attention-holding texture.
In text, the strong contrast and crisp terminals create a pronounced texture and an active left-to-right motion. Spacing appears tuned for display-to-text settings, but the heavy weight and sharp details make it especially striking at larger sizes or when used for emphasis.
