A robust italic serif with bracketed serifs and a pronounced rightward slant. Strokes show clear, traditional contrast with tapered joins and a gently calligraphic feel, producing crisp, slightly triangular terminals on many letters. Proportions lean compact with sturdy verticals and rounded counters, while the italic construction is evident in the flowing lowercase and the angled, energetic capitals. Numerals follow the same sturdy, serifed, italicized rhythm, keeping the texture dense and consistent in text.
Well-suited to editorial layouts where an italic needs to carry weight—magazine features, book sections, and emphasized passages. It can also work as a display italic for pull quotes and headlines where a strong, traditional voice is desired.
The tone is classic and editorial, evoking bookish authority and old-style printing. Its strong italic posture adds urgency and emphasis, while the traditional serif detailing keeps it grounded and formal.
The design appears intended as a conventional, text-oriented serif italic that provides emphatic contrast to a roman companion while remaining highly readable. Its sturdy build and classic detailing suggest a focus on dependable editorial performance with a confident, historical flavor.
In running text the face builds a dark, even color with lively diagonals, making it feel assertive without becoming ornamental. The glyph set shown suggests careful attention to serif shaping and italic movement, helping words hold together as cohesive, slightly compressed forms.
