A high-contrast italic serif with a sturdy, dark color and a distinctly calligraphic stress. The letterforms are wide and energetic, with sharp wedge-like, bracketed serifs and tapered terminals that create crisp entry and exit strokes. Curves are smooth and full while joins stay tight, producing a confident rhythm; counters remain open enough for clarity despite the heavy overall texture. Numerals follow the same slanted, contrasty construction, reading compact and emphatic in running text.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other editorial typography where an italic voice is meant to carry emphasis and personality. It can work well in magazine and poster settings, and for branding that wants a classic serif with a bold, energetic slant; for long passages, it will be most effective when used selectively for emphasis rather than as continuous body copy.
The tone is traditional and authoritative, with a polished, editorial feel. Its pronounced slant and sharp serifs add drama and momentum, giving headlines a confident, slightly theatrical sophistication rather than a quiet bookish calm.
The design appears intended as a strong italic companion for conventional serif typography, prioritizing dramatic contrast, a confident slant, and sharp finishing details to deliver emphasis and elegance at display sizes.
The italic is expressive and consistent across cases, with noticeable stroke modulation and angled finishing that reinforce the sense of motion. The texture is dense and impactful, making spacing and line breaks feel deliberate and designed for display-forward settings.
