A robust italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a steady rightward slant. Serifs are bracketed and sharply finished, with tapered entry/exit strokes that give forms a carved, calligraphic edge. Counters are moderately open, curves show angled stress, and round letters (like O and Q) feel compact and weighty. The lowercase has a traditional text rhythm with slightly varied widths and lively joins, while figures are sturdy and strongly modeled to match the heavy text color.
Works well for editorial typography where a strong italic is needed for emphasis, such as magazine features, pull quotes, and subheads. Its dense color and pronounced contrast also make it effective for short-form headlines and titling, especially in print-oriented layouts.
The overall tone is authoritative and bookish, projecting a classic, editorial voice. Its assertive weight and energetic italic movement add drama and emphasis, reading as confident rather than delicate. The design feels traditional and refined, suited to serious or heritage-leaning typography.
Likely drawn to provide a traditional text-serif italic with extra weight and presence, emphasizing readability while delivering a distinctly emphatic, classical character. The combination of bracketed serifs, angled stress, and sturdy proportions suggests an aim toward editorial authority and literary polish.
The italic construction is evident across both cases, with diagonally oriented terminals and a cohesive forward motion. Stroke endings are crisp and the heavy verticals create strong contrast against thin hairlines, producing a dense, print-like texture in paragraph settings.
