This typeface is a slanted serif with pronounced stroke modulation and sharp, bracketed serifs. Capitals are wide and steady, with crisp terminals and a strong vertical presence despite the italic angle. Lowercase shows oldstyle tendencies, including a two-storey “a,” a gently looped “g,” and a curved, descending “j,” all contributing to a lively rhythm. The numerals are weighty and high-contrast with prominent curves and angled stress that match the italic movement, producing an overall dark, energetic texture in text.
It performs best where an emphatic, classic serif italic is desired—such as magazine leads, headlines, book or chapter titles, and pull quotes. The high-contrast, dark color can add authority and elegance in branding or packaging when used at display sizes, and it can also serve as a strong companion italic for text settings where emphasis needs to read clearly.
The tone is traditional and editorial, combining a bookish refinement with a confident, slightly dramatic emphasis. Its brisk italic slant and strong contrast give it a sense of motion and persuasion, making it feel well-suited to classic publishing conventions while still reading as bold and declarative.
The likely intention is to provide a conventional serif italic with heightened contrast and presence, suitable for editorial typography and emphasis-driven roles. Its calligraphic shaping and sturdy serifs aim to balance tradition with visual punch, delivering a refined but assertive voice.
Across the alphabet, the design maintains consistent contrast and a cohesive serif vocabulary, yielding a compact, ink-rich color in paragraphs. The italic construction appears genuinely drawn rather than mechanically slanted, with many letters showing asymmetric detailing and calligraphic curvature that reinforces the forward momentum.
