A sturdy italic serif with pronounced slant and compact, dark letterforms. Serifs are clearly bracketed with a slightly wedge-like finish, and many strokes show a calligraphic influence through diagonal stress and subtly tapered joins rather than sharp geometric transitions. Counters are moderately tight and apertures tend to be controlled, producing a dense, authoritative texture in paragraph settings. The italic construction is energetic but disciplined, with consistent rhythm across caps, lowercase, and figures.
Works well for headlines and subheads where an italic voice needs to carry weight without becoming decorative. It also suits pull quotes and editorial typography that benefits from a dense, classic serif texture, and can support book or magazine layouts as an emphatic companion style.
The overall tone is traditional and bookish, leaning toward editorial seriousness rather than flamboyance. Its strong presence and steady cadence suggest a confident, established voice suited to formal messaging and heritage-leaning design.
Likely designed to provide a robust italic serif for traditional text typography, prioritizing a strong page color and clear editorial emphasis. The intent appears to balance calligraphic italic cues with conventional serif structure for dependable, classical readability at display and supporting sizes.
Capitals read broad and stable with conventional roman proportions translated into a firm italic stance, while lowercase letters emphasize continuity through flowing entry/exit strokes and reinforced terminals. Numerals match the italic angle and weight, maintaining a cohesive color for mixed text.
