A high-contrast serif italic with a pronounced rightward slant and crisp, tapered serifs. Thick verticals and hairline joins create a strong black-and-white rhythm, while the curves are smooth and slightly compressed in places, giving the forms a lively, sculpted feel. Terminals tend to be sharp and wedge-like, with bracketed connections in the serifs that keep the letterforms traditional rather than geometric. Overall spacing reads a bit generous for an italic, supporting clear word shapes despite the strong contrast.
Best suited to display settings such as headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and book or magazine titling where its contrast and slant can provide emphasis. It can also work for short passages at larger sizes, especially where a refined, traditional italic voice is desired.
The tone is classic and editorial, with a dramatic, high-end feel typical of magazine display italics and literary titling. Its strong contrast and energetic slant add a sense of motion and emphasis, making it feel confident, formal, and slightly theatrical.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif reading voice in an emphatic italic, combining traditional proportions with heightened contrast for impact. It aims to provide a polished, editorial look that reads as both classic and assertive.
The italic construction is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, producing a unified texture in running lines. Numerals and capitals appear designed to carry emphasis, with particularly punchy thick strokes and delicate hairlines that will reward clean reproduction.
