A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharply tapered, bracketed serifs. The design shows a calligraphic, right-leaning construction with energetic entry/exit strokes and subtly cupped terminals, producing a lively texture. Uppercase forms feel sturdy and sculpted (notably wide bowls and strong verticals), while the lowercase uses traditional italic structures such as a single-storey “a” and flowing “f” and “g,” with tight joins and compact counters that reinforce a dense, dark color on the page.
Well suited to editorial typography where an expressive italic is needed for emphasis—magazine headlines, pull quotes, and book-cover titling. It can also work for short passages such as introductions, bylines, or chapter openers where a rich, traditional texture is desirable.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, with an editorial seriousness and a touch of dramatic flourish. Its assertive contrast and confident italic rhythm suggest formality and authority rather than casual friendliness.
Likely intended as a classic italic companion with elevated contrast and a refined, print-minded feel, balancing conventional serif forms with a more calligraphic, attention-getting stroke rhythm for emphasis and display-leaning text settings.
Numerals and capitals carry a display-like presence due to the strong contrast and crisp finishing, yet the underlying proportions remain familiar and text-oriented. The italic slant is consistent across the set, with strokes that create a clear forward motion and slightly varying character widths that add organic rhythm.
