A high-contrast italic serif with strong thick–thin modulation and a steady rightward slant. Stems and diagonals taper into sharp, bracketed serifs, and many joins and terminals show a subtly calligraphic, cut-pen feel. Uppercase forms are sturdy and slightly wide with energetic curves, while the lowercase is more fluid, with compact counters and angled entry strokes that keep the texture lively. Figures follow the italic rhythm as well, with curved, sweeping shapes that match the letterforms’ stroke logic.
Best suited for display and short-to-medium text where an assertive italic is desirable—editorial headlines, pull quotes, book and magazine covers, and promotional typography. It can also work for formal invitations or branding when a classic, energetic serif voice is needed.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, conveying formality and momentum at the same time. Its pronounced contrast and energetic slant give it a confident, slightly dramatic voice suited to emphatic, polished typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif reading model with heightened contrast and an expressive italic cadence. It prioritizes impact and elegance, offering a strong typographic accent for situations where a standard roman would feel too restrained.
In text, the font creates a dark, punchy color with clear word shapes driven by the italic rhythm. The design balances traditional serif structure with brisk, stylized terminals, making it feel refined rather than ornamental.
