A high-contrast italic serif with strongly bracketed, wedge-like serifs and a pronounced rightward slant. Strokes show calligraphic modulation, with tapering terminals and crisp, pointed joins that give forms a lively, engraved feel. Uppercase letters are sturdy and slightly compact with sharp apexes and confident serifs, while lowercase forms are more fluid and rhythmic, featuring pronounced entry/exit strokes and a single-storey italic construction in places. Numerals follow the same italic, high-contrast logic, with curved, slightly flamboyant shapes and tapered ends that keep the texture consistent in text.
Well-suited for editorial headlines, pull quotes, and cover titling where a classic italic voice is desired. It can also work for posters and branded emphasis lines that need a formal, literary tone, especially when set with comfortable spacing to preserve the crisp serifs and stroke contrast.
The font reads as traditional and editorial, evoking book typography and classic print craftsmanship. Its energetic italic motion and sharp serifs lend a sense of emphasis and refinement, suitable for content that aims to feel established, cultured, and authoritative.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, print-forward italic with strong contrast and assertive presence, combining traditional serif structure with calligraphic energy. It emphasizes expressive rhythm and dramatic emphasis while maintaining a conventional text-serif foundation.
In text, the bold italic weight creates a dark, assertive color with noticeable internal movement from the angled strokes and tapered terminals. The design’s sharp details and strong modulation are most visually effective at display sizes or in short runs where the lively rhythm can be appreciated without crowding.
