A robust italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a clear diagonal stress. Serifs are bracketed and slightly flared, giving the strokes a sculpted, inked feel rather than a rigid mechanical construction. Curves are full and weighted, terminals often finish in tapered, calligraphic points, and the italic slant is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures. The set shows lively width variation and a moderately open rhythm, with strong presence in the capitals and compact, energetic lowercase forms.
Best suited to display settings where an assertive italic serif is desirable—magazine and newspaper headlines, pull quotes, book and chapter titles, and poster typography. It can also work for short-form editorial emphasis (subheads, lead-ins) where strong contrast and slanted motion help guide the eye.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, with a confident, old-world elegance. Its bold italic voice adds drama and urgency, suggesting prestige and seriousness more than casual friendliness. The calligraphic cues lend a human, crafted character that reads as literary and ceremonial.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif foundation with a more forceful, expressive italic voice. Its bold color, pronounced contrast, and calligraphic terminals suggest a focus on high-impact editorial typography that still feels rooted in traditional serif forms.
In text, the heavy weight and high contrast create a strong horizontal texture, with italic forms that remain distinctly serifed rather than script-like. The figures appear sturdy and headline-oriented, matching the emphatic color of the letters. The combination of bracketed serifs and tapered terminals provides a slightly swashy, expressive finish without becoming ornamental.
