A sturdy italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a forward-leaning, calligraphic rhythm. Serifs are tapered and wedge-like with soft bracketing, and many terminals finish with subtle teardrop/ball shapes that add warmth to otherwise crisp forms. Uppercase letters feel compact and weighty with clear stress, while the lowercase shows energetic joins, open counters, and a slightly uneven, hand-influenced texture. Figures are similarly slanted and bold, with rounded forms (notably 3, 6, 8, 9) and strong contrast that reads best at moderate-to-large sizes.
Well suited to editorial typography where an expressive italic is needed for headings, subheads, pull quotes, and highlighted phrases. The bold color and strong contrast also make it effective on book covers, posters, and branding applications that benefit from a classic, authoritative serif voice.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, with a confident, editorial voice. Its italic posture and calligraphic details suggest elegance and emphasis rather than neutrality, giving text a formal, slightly dramatic presence.
Likely designed as a conventional text-oriented serif italic with added calligraphic character, aiming to deliver emphasis and elegance while maintaining a familiar, readable structure.
The spacing and rhythm create a lively, rolling line—especially in the lowercase—where tapered serifs and rounded terminals keep the dark color from feeling overly rigid. The distinctive italic forms in letters like a, f, g, and y contribute to a recognizable texture that stands out in headlines and emphasized passages.
