A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. The letterforms show compact proportions with relatively narrow counters, creating a dense, authoritative texture in paragraphs. Curves are smoothly modeled but finish with sharp terminals, and several joins and diagonals read as slightly calligraphic, reinforcing the italic construction. Numerals and capitals follow the same contrasty rhythm, with strong vertical stress and sturdy main strokes that keep the face firm at display and text sizes alike.
Well suited to editorial typography where an italic serif is needed for emphasis, pull quotes, and secondary headings. It can also work for book and magazine settings when a lively, contrasty italic texture is desired, and for classic branding applications that benefit from a traditional serif tone.
The overall tone feels classic and literary, with a distinctly editorial voice. Its sharp serifs and energetic italic slant add urgency and elegance, suggesting tradition and formality without becoming overly ornate.
The design appears intended as a conventional serif italic with a strong, confident presence—combining high contrast and bracketed serifs to deliver clear hierarchy and expressive emphasis in text-heavy layouts.
The spacing appears tight and the stroke contrast is strong enough to create sparkle in longer lines, especially where hairlines cluster. The italic angle is consistent across cases, and the figures maintain a coordinated, old-style editorial feel through their curved forms and emphatic stroke transitions.
