A robust italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a lively diagonal rhythm. Serifs are bracketed and often wedge-like, with crisp, tapered terminals that help the heavy strokes stay sharp rather than blocky. Counters are compact and the joins are sturdy, giving letters a dense, ink-rich color in text. The italics show clear calligraphic influence—curved entry/exit strokes, angled crossbars, and rounded terminals—while the overall construction remains conventional and readable.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, and editorial layouts where a strong italic voice is needed. It can work for short passages or pull quotes when set with generous leading, but its dense color and contrast make it most effective in display-forward roles such as posters, magazine features, and book-jacket typography.
The tone is confident and emphatic, combining traditional bookish cues with a punchy, attention-grabbing slant. Its strong contrast and compact counters create a dramatic, slightly luxurious feel suited to statements and headlines. Overall it reads as classic and authoritative rather than playful or casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif reading personality with heightened emphasis through a bold, calligraphic italic. It prioritizes strong presence, crisp detailing, and a refined traditional structure for expressive editorial typography.
Uppercase forms are broad and steady with clear serif detailing, while lowercase shows more movement through the italic structure (notably in a, f, g, and y). Numerals appear similarly weighty and old-style in spirit, maintaining the same contrast and serif treatment for consistent texture in mixed copy.
