A steep italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered terminals. Serifs read as sharp and bracketed, with wedge-like accents and a calligraphic rhythm that shows in the angled stress of rounded forms. Overall proportions feel compact and sturdy, with tight apertures and a distinctly sculpted, print-oriented texture; numerals and capitals carry the same assertive, slightly compressed presence.
Works well for magazine and book typography where an assertive italic is needed for titles, pull quotes, and lead-ins. It also suits branding, packaging, and poster work that benefits from a classic serif voice with extra energy. For long passages, it is best used as an accent style (for emphasis or short blocks) rather than as the primary text face.
This face conveys a confident, literary tone with a touch of drama. Its slanted posture and sharp contrast give it an energetic, slightly formal voice that feels suited to classic editorial typography rather than casual UI.
The design appears intended to deliver strong emphasis in italic form while retaining the structure and familiarity of traditional serif typography. Its high-contrast modeling and firm, dark shapes suggest a focus on expressive setting for display and prominent text, where tone and rhythm matter as much as readability.
The sample text shows a lively, tightly spaced italic flow with noticeable stroke contrast and sharp joins, producing a dark, authoritative texture. Round letters and numerals display angled stress, reinforcing the traditional, calligraphic construction across the set.
