A high-contrast italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and tapered terminals. Serifs are crisp and bracketed, with sharp triangular accents on many capitals and a clear rightward slant throughout. The lowercase shows a lively, calligraphic rhythm: round letters lean into the angle, joins are tight, and strokes often finish in pointed beaks or wedge-like endings. Counters are fairly open and the overall texture reads dark and energetic, with italic entry/exit strokes and a slightly variable, hand-informed flow across the line.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book interiors where an italic with strong contrast can add emphasis and personality. It also performs well for titles, pull quotes, and refined promotional materials that benefit from a classic, formal serif voice.
The font conveys a traditional, literary tone—confident, slightly dramatic, and distinctly editorial. Its sharp serifs and energetic italic movement suggest seriousness and refinement, with a touch of vintage warmth rather than a modern, clinical feel.
The design appears intended as a conventional text serif italic with heightened contrast and a calligraphic slant, balancing readability with a more expressive, emphatic texture. It aims to provide a traditional typographic color while adding extra drama for display moments and emphasized passages.
Capitals feel sturdy and ceremonial, with strong vertical stress and emphatic wedge serifs that give headings a carved, engraved presence. Numerals follow the same italic logic, with noticeable contrast and distinctive curves that help them stand out in running text.
