A slanted serif with pronounced contrast between thick main strokes and hairline connections, giving a crisp, polished page color. Serifs are small and sharply cut with noticeable bracketing in places, and terminals often taper to fine points, reinforcing a calligraphic, pen-driven feel. The italic construction shows lively entry/exit strokes and a slightly variable rhythm across characters, while counters remain open enough for readability. Figures match the italic tone, with curved forms and tapered details that keep the set visually cohesive.
Works well for editorial headlines, pull quotes, book and album titling, and branding that benefits from an established, classic voice. It can also serve for short-to-medium text passages where an italic serif is desired for tone and hierarchy, especially in print-oriented layouts.
The font conveys a classic, literary tone with a slightly theatrical flair. Its energetic italic movement and crisp hairlines suggest refinement and tradition, while the heavier stress and sharp finishing strokes add drama and emphasis. Overall it feels suited to cultured, editorial settings rather than purely utilitarian UI typography.
Likely designed as a robust, expressive italic serif for conventional text typography, balancing traditional proportions with a stronger, more emphatic contrast and slant. The intent reads as providing a classic, readable style that can also deliver clear typographic emphasis in editorial and display contexts.
Uppercase forms are stately and moderately wide in presence, while lowercase letters show more movement and individuality typical of an oldstyle italic. The sample text demonstrates strong emphasis and a confident headline voice, though the high contrast and slant make it feel more at home at larger sizes than in dense, small text.
