A high-contrast serif italic with bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a lively rightward slant. Stems are thick and confident while hairlines stay crisp, producing a pronounced thick–thin rhythm and a distinctly calligraphic stress. Uppercase forms are compact and slightly condensed in feel, with sharp, angled terminals and a taut, energetic silhouette. Lowercase shows flowing joins and tapered strokes, with a relatively traditional x-height and a strong baseline presence; the italics are clearly drawn rather than simply slanted. Numerals appear oldstyle (text) in behavior, with varying heights and pronounced diagonals, matching the face’s editorial tone.
Well-suited to editorial typography such as magazine headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where a distinctive italic voice is desirable. It can also serve for book-cover titling and short-form branding applications that benefit from a classic serif tone with heightened contrast. For long passages, it will work best when size and spacing allow the hairlines and counters to remain clear.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with an editorial sharpness that reads as established and refined. Its strong contrast and assertive italic motion add drama and emphasis, giving the text a confident, slightly theatrical cadence without becoming decorative.
This design appears intended as a robust, high-contrast italic companion for traditional serif typography—prioritizing emphasis, elegance, and a strong printed presence. The drawn italic forms and oldstyle-style numerals suggest a focus on literary and editorial settings where rhythm and character matter as much as clarity.
Texture in paragraphs is dark and punchy, with tight counters and crisp finishing that favors display sizes and emphasized passages. The italic construction feels intentional throughout—particularly in the lowercase—and the strong diagonals in letters like v, w, x, and y reinforce a dynamic, forward-moving rhythm.
