This typeface is a high-contrast serif italic with pronounced, wedge-like bracketed serifs and tapered stroke endings. Curves show an angled stress and a distinctly calligraphic modulation, while the heavier verticals and sharp joins give it strong presence at display sizes. The italic construction is lively rather than mechanical, with narrow apertures, crisp terminals, and slightly condensed, upright-leaning capitals paired with more fluid, rhythmic lowercase. Numerals follow the same sharp, chiseled vocabulary, with strong diagonal emphasis and pointed entry/exit strokes.
Well-suited to headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, and other editorial applications where an italic voice needs to be prominent and characterful. It can also serve effectively on book covers, event posters, and branding moments that call for a traditional serif with extra emphasis and momentum.
The overall tone is classic and literary, evoking traditional print typography with an assertive editorial character. Its sharp modulation and energetic italic slant add drama and urgency without feeling decorative or whimsical.
The design appears intended to provide a forceful, classical italic for contemporary typography—combining traditional serif construction with sharper, more cinematic contrast and brisk rhythm for attention-grabbing text.
Capitals read sturdy and formal, while the lowercase carries more motion and texture, creating a clear hierarchy in mixed-case settings. The strong contrast and tight internal spaces suggest it will look best with comfortable tracking and generous line spacing, especially in dense copy.
