A robust italic serif with a strongly weighted presence and a distinctly calligraphic rhythm. Strokes show moderate contrast with rounded, flowing joins and clearly bracketed serifs that flare into soft, wedge-like terminals. The italic angle is pronounced and consistent, and the letterforms feel slightly expansive, with generous internal counters and a lively baseline sweep in several lowercase glyphs. Curves are full and smooth, and details like the ball/teardrop terminals and ear-like protrusions add a traditional, inked quality rather than a sharp, mechanical finish.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium text where an emphatic, traditional italic voice is desirable—such as headlines, cover titles, pull quotes, promotional materials, and packaging. The strong weight and energetic slant help it hold up well at larger sizes and in attention-grabbing settings.
The font conveys a confident, classic tone with a touch of theatrical flourish. Its heavy italic color and traditional serif detailing suggest editorial authority, while the energetic curves and terminals keep it expressive and warm rather than severe.
Likely designed to provide a bold, expressive italic companion to conventional serif typography—combining classic, bookish cues with a more dramatic, attention-forward silhouette for titling and emphatic text.
Uppercase forms read sturdy and headline-ready, while lowercase shapes show more motion and personality, especially in letters with descenders and tails. Numerals are similarly weighty and italicized, matching the text style and maintaining strong consistency across the set.
