A high-contrast serif with a pronounced italic slope and clear calligraphic modulation. Stems are thick and confident, with sharp, tapered hairlines and bracketed wedge-like serifs that create a crisp entry/exit on many strokes. The lowercase shows oldstyle tendencies—noticeable ascenders, rounded joins, and a flowing rhythm—while capitals are sturdy and slightly sculpted, with strong thick–thin transitions. Counters are moderately open, and the overall color is dark and emphatic, especially in text sizes.
Best suited to editorial headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and cover typography where an italic serif can carry personality and emphasis. It can also work for short-form text in print-oriented layouts, especially when you want a traditional, high-contrast look with a strong typographic presence.
The tone is traditional and editorial, evoking book typography and formal publishing. Its energetic italic movement and strong contrast add drama and emphasis, giving it a persuasive, authoritative voice rather than a quiet or neutral one.
The design appears intended as a robust, readable italic serif that combines classic bookish proportions with a bolder, more emphatic typographic color. Its calligraphic stress and sharp finishing details suggest a focus on expressive editorial setting rather than minimal, utilitarian text.
Curves often end in small teardrop/ball-like terminals (e.g., on forms like a, f, y), which adds a slightly ornamental finish without becoming decorative. Numerals and caps feel weighty and ceremonial, suitable for prominent settings where the strong stroke contrast can be appreciated.
