A bold italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a steady, forward slant. Serifs are bracketed and tapered, with crisp terminals and teardrop/ball endings appearing in several lowercase forms, giving a subtly calligraphic finish. Uppercase characters feel sturdy and slightly expansive, while the lowercase shows lively rhythm with rounded joins, a single-storey “a,” and a clear italic construction throughout. Numerals appear oldstyle (text) with varying heights and descenders, reinforcing a traditional bookish texture.
Works especially well for editorial headlines, book and magazine titling, and pull quotes where a strong italic can carry emphasis without losing typographic tradition. It can also support premium packaging or identity systems that want a classic serif voice with extra momentum.
The overall tone is classic and assertive, combining traditional serif manners with the energy of a strong italic. It reads as polished and literary rather than decorative, with a confident, editorial voice suited to emphatic passages and refined branding.
Likely designed as a robust italic companion for conventional serif typography, aiming to deliver high-impact emphasis while preserving classic proportions and a familiar reading texture. The inclusion of oldstyle numerals suggests a bias toward editorial and book-oriented composition.
Letterforms maintain consistent stress and contrast across the set, producing a clear diagonal flow in words. The italic shaping is expressive without becoming overly cursive, keeping counters open and silhouettes readable at display and larger text sizes.
