A robust italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a strong rightward slant. Serifs are bracketed and often wedge-like, with a slightly calligraphic flow and lively stroke joins. Counters are relatively open, curves are generous, and terminals frequently end in soft, rounded forms, giving the face a sculpted, inked feel. The lowercase shows an oldstyle flavor with a single-storey a and g and a distinctive, lively rhythm across words.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and editorial typography where italic emphasis is part of the voice. It can also work well for pull quotes, book or magazine titling, and bold brand statements that benefit from a classic serif foundation with added dynamism.
The overall tone is confident and traditional, with a dramatic, editorial presence. Its energetic italic motion and high contrast add a sense of urgency and emphasis while remaining rooted in classic book typography conventions.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif reading texture amplified into an emphatic, attention-getting italic. It prioritizes strong typographic color and expressive movement for display and editorial settings while retaining familiar, conventional serif structures.
Uppercase forms feel weighty and compact, with strong vertical stress and crisp interior shaping, while the lowercase brings more movement through angled stems and expressive terminals. Numerals match the text color and contrast, reading as sturdy and display-capable at larger sizes.
