A robust italic serif with bracketed wedge-like serifs and a pronounced rightward slant. Strokes show clear modulation with rounded joins and softened terminals, giving the letters a carved-yet-warm texture. Capitals are broad and steady with strong horizontal stress, while lowercase forms are compact and lively, with prominent ascenders/descenders and tightly curved bowls. The overall rhythm is energetic but controlled, with slightly variable character widths and sturdy proportions that hold up well at larger sizes.
Well suited for editorial layouts, magazine features, book jackets, and display typography where a strong italic can carry emphasis without losing sophistication. It can also serve as a distinctive brand type for institutions, publishers, or products seeking a classic, literary tone.
The tone feels traditional and bookish, with an academic, editorial character that reads as established and trustworthy. Its assertive italic posture adds momentum and emphasis, suggesting a voice suited to quotations, highlights, and refined branding with historical undertones.
The design appears intended as a dependable, conventional serif italic with extra presence, balancing traditional book-type cues with a bold, attention-grabbing color for prominent text settings.
Numerals are sturdy and legible with classic proportions, and the italic angle is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures. Counters remain fairly open despite the heavy color, and the detailing in serifs and terminals adds a crisp, print-oriented finish.
