A robust italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and tapered terminals that give strokes a calligraphic, directional flow. Serifs are bracketed and angled, with entry/exit strokes that often finish in sharp, slightly flared points. Uppercase forms feel broad and steady, while the lowercase shows a lively rhythm with compact counters, a single-storey italic “a,” and a looping “g,” contributing to an oldstyle texture. Numerals and punctuation follow the same energetic slant, with curving forms and emphasized diagonals that maintain strong color on the page.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, book and journal titling, and pull quotes where a strong italic voice is desirable. It can also work for premium packaging or brand language that benefits from a classic serif with added motion and emphasis, especially at display sizes.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, combining formality with a spirited italic energy. It reads as confident and slightly dramatic, evoking bookish, classical typography rather than minimalist modernism.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif reading impression with an expressive italic flair, using strong contrast and brisk, tapered finishing to add emphasis without departing from conventional text-serif expectations.
The stroke contrast and angled detailing create a textured surface that becomes more expressive as size increases, while still retaining a conventional serif framework. The italic construction is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, producing a cohesive forward-leaning rhythm in words and lines.
