A bold, right-leaning serif with pronounced contrast and bracketed, wedge-like serifs. Strokes show calligraphic modulation: thick verticals and strong hairlines, with angled terminals and gently cupped joins that keep counters open. Proportions are slightly wide with a steady rhythm, and the italic construction is evident in the curved entry/exit strokes and the dynamic shaping of rounds. Figures are sturdy and oldstyle-leaning in feel, matching the letterforms’ weight and movement for cohesive text color.
Best suited to display and large-size typography such as headlines, editorial openers, pull quotes, and cover titling where its contrast and italic energy can be fully appreciated. It can also work for short passages or lead-ins when a classic serif voice with strong emphasis is desired.
The tone reads traditional and editorial, balancing authority with a lively, ink-on-paper energy. Its assertive weight and spirited italic give it a confident, literary voice suited to dramatic or cultivated messaging rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif foundation with a more expressive, calligraphic italic stance, creating a strong typographic presence for emphasis and refined display. The combination of wide proportions, sturdy weight, and sharp serif detailing suggests a focus on impactful, high-contrast typography in editorial contexts.
The sample text shows dense, even texture at larger sizes, with crisp serif articulation that helps maintain clarity despite the strong contrast. Round letters (like O/Q) feel full and generous, while diagonals and curved strokes add a noticeable forward motion across lines.
