A robust italic serif with pronounced, bracketed wedge serifs and a strong rightward slant. The strokes show a clear, calligraphic modulation with thick, heavy stems and tapered terminals that create sharp entry and exit points. Capitals are broad and weighty with a steady baseline, while the lowercase keeps a compact, text-oriented rhythm with crisp joins, angled cross-strokes, and slightly compressed counters under the heavy weight. Numerals match the letters in mass and italic flow, reading as sturdy and display-capable while maintaining a conventional serif structure.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, and other editorial applications where a bold italic voice is desired. It can work for short to medium passages in print-like layouts when set with comfortable spacing, and it is especially effective for cover titling and promotional typography that needs traditional authority with added motion.
The overall tone is assertive and classic, leaning toward editorial and bookish traditions rather than minimalist modernism. Its slanted, ink-rich shapes add energy and drama, giving headings a confident, somewhat theatrical emphasis while still feeling rooted in familiar typography.
The design appears intended to provide a classic serif italic with extra weight and presence, combining familiar book-type proportions with sharper, more energetic terminals. It aims to deliver strong emphasis without leaving conventional serif territory, making it a practical choice for typographic hierarchy in editorial layouts.
The texture in paragraph setting is dark and continuous, with strong diagonals and sharp terminals creating lively word shapes. The italic angle is consistent across cases, helping lines feel cohesive, though the heavy weight naturally reduces interior whitespace and favors larger sizes or generous leading for extended text.
