A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharply tapered terminals. Serifs are bracketed and often wedge-like, with energetic entry and exit strokes that give forms a subtly calligraphic feel. Counters are fairly open and rounded, while curves and joins show a crisp, sculpted tension typical of display-oriented italics. Proportions read slightly expanded overall, with generous capitals and a lively, rhythmic texture in text.
Well suited to headlines, subheads, and other short-to-medium runs where a strong, elegant italic voice is desired. It can work for editorial typography—such as magazine features, pull quotes, and book-cover titling—where contrast and motion help create hierarchy and emphasis.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, but with a confident, theatrical edge. Its strong contrast and vigorous italic movement feel persuasive and elegant, leaning toward classic editorial styling rather than quiet, neutral reading.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice in an assertive italic, prioritizing expressive rhythm and high-contrast detail for impactful typography. It balances traditional letterform construction with display-ready energy for emphasis and branding.
The italic is consistently emphasized across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, producing a forward-leaning cadence. Numerals follow the same contrast logic and angled stress, helping figures blend smoothly into typographic settings. In longer lines the texture is bold and dark, suggesting best results with ample whitespace and comfortable line spacing.
