A slanted serif with sturdy, compact forms and clear, bracketed serifs. Strokes show moderate contrast with crisp joins and slightly wedge-like terminals, giving counters a sculpted, oldstyle feel. The italics are strongly drawn rather than merely obliqued, with lively entry/exit strokes, angled crossbars, and a rhythm that alternates tight curves with sharper, cut-in notches. Proportions vary noticeably from glyph to glyph, producing a dynamic texture while keeping consistent weight and a firm baseline.
This face suits headlines, standfirsts, pull quotes, and other editorial settings where a strong italic voice is desirable. It also fits book covers and cultural posters that want classic serif cues with added movement and personality.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, with a confident, slightly theatrical energy typical of display-oriented italics. It feels literary and classical, suggesting bookish authority while still reading as animated and expressive.
The design appears intended to provide a robust, expressive italic serif for impactful typography—preserving traditional serif conventions while adding angular, calligraphic energy and a dark, attention-grabbing text color.
Uppercase letters maintain a formal serif structure but lean into distinctive, angular shaping in curves and diagonals; numerals follow the same italic momentum and appear designed to sit comfortably alongside text. The sample text shows a dense, dark color with pronounced rhythm, favoring character and emphasis over quiet neutrality in extended passages.
