A robust italic serif with pronounced stroke modulation and crisp, bracketed wedge serifs. The letterforms show a strong forward slant and a lively, calligraphic construction, with tapered terminals and sharp joins that create a distinctly rhythmic texture. Counters are moderately open, while the overall color is confident and dark, making the face feel substantial in text and especially assertive at larger sizes. Figures and capitals carry the same energetic, angled stress, maintaining a consistent, high-contrast cadence across the set.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where its energetic italic stress and high contrast can carry tone and hierarchy. It also fits book covers and editorial layouts that benefit from a classic serif voice with extra drama and emphasis.
The tone is traditional and editorial, with a dramatic, slightly baroque energy that reads as refined rather than casual. Its assertive italic movement suggests emphasis, sophistication, and a print-minded voice suited to cultivated, literary messaging.
The design appears intended as a conventional serif italic with heightened contrast and a more calligraphic, print-classical flavor, aiming to deliver elegant emphasis and strong typographic presence for editorial and display settings.
The italic angle is strong enough to be a defining feature, and the sharp, tapered details reward comfortable sizing where the contrast and serifs can remain clean. The design’s weight and contrast create clear hierarchy, making it effective when used for emphasis within a broader typographic system.
