A robust italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharply cut, bracketed wedge serifs. The slant is consistent and lively, with rounded forms that stay compact while broader capitals (notably the round letters) read generously across. Strokes taper into pointed terminals and angled joins, giving counters a slightly pinched, sculpted look; the overall rhythm is dense but controlled, with strong word shapes and clear interior whitespace.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where the strong contrast and energetic italic texture can carry. It also works well for editorial packaging—magazine features, book covers, and posters—especially when paired with a calmer roman for body text.
The tone is traditional and bookish, yet assertive—like a classic editorial italic pushed into a more dramatic, display-ready voice. It suggests refinement and authority, with a slightly theatrical edge that suits emphatic passages and attention-grabbing headings.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif italic voice with heightened contrast and presence, balancing traditional forms with a more forceful, modern emphasis. It prioritizes expressive texture and strong typographic color for prominent settings rather than quiet neutrality.
Uppercase forms feel sturdy and formal with crisp serifing, while the lowercase shows more calligraphic movement in the bowls and shoulders. Numerals appear weighty and old-style in spirit, harmonizing with the italic slant and the serifed, tapered construction seen across the alphabet.
