A high-contrast serif with a pronounced italic slant and strongly modeled, calligraphic curves. Stems are robust while joins and terminals taper sharply, creating crisp hairlines and wedge-like, bracketed serifs that read as carved rather than slabbed. The lowercase shows a tall x-height and lively rhythm, with slightly irregular, hand-cut modulation visible in letters like a, e, g, and y. Numerals and capitals carry the same dark, sculpted weight, with pointed apexes and tight inner counters that keep the overall color dense and emphatic.
This font is well suited to headlines, magazine titling, book covers, and pull quotes where a strong, classic serif voice is desired. It can also work for short editorial passages or decks when set with comfortable leading and not overly tight tracking to preserve clarity through its contrast.
The tone is classic and literary, with a confident, editorial presence. Its dramatic contrast and energetic italic flow suggest sophistication and emphasis, lending text a persuasive, headline-forward voice rather than a purely neutral one.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif texture with heightened drama: a dark, emphatic weight paired with italic motion and crisp, tapered detailing. It prioritizes expressive readability and a refined, print-like presence for display and editorial roles.
The sample text shows strong word-shape movement and a compact, dark texture that benefits from generous line spacing. The italic angle and sharp terminals make it especially expressive in larger sizes, where the fine transitions and wedge serifs can be appreciated without crowding.
