A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and clearly bracketed serifs. The italic construction feels calligraphic, with gently swelling stems, tapered entry strokes, and occasional ball-like terminals that soften the otherwise firm, dark texture. Proportions are conventional and text-oriented, with moderately wide capitals, a normal x-height, and compact counters that create a dense rhythm. Numerals read as oldstyle figures with ascenders/descenders, aligning visually with the lowercase and reinforcing a traditional text color.
Well-suited to editorial typography where a confident italic is needed for emphasis—magazines, essays, and book interiors. It also performs strongly in pull quotes, subheads, and formal communications where a classic serif voice and lively contrast help establish hierarchy.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, projecting authority and polish while remaining bookish and readable. The italic angle adds momentum and sophistication, giving the face a persuasive, headline-ready voice without becoming overly ornamental.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif with an energetic italic that provides emphasis and hierarchy while preserving a classic, print-oriented texture. Its strong contrast and traditional detailing suggest a focus on refined editorial use rather than minimalist neutrality.
Stroke endings and serifs are crisp and well-defined, and the contrast is strong enough to add sparkle in larger sizes. The forms keep a disciplined, conventional skeleton, which helps the slanted styling feel controlled rather than cursive.
