A robust italic serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. The letterforms show a rightward slant and a calligraphic stroke logic, with tapered terminals and occasional wedge-like finishing. Proportions feel generously set with open counters and sturdy stems, while curves (notably in rounds and bowls) carry a slightly sculpted, high-contrast tension. Figures are similarly italicized and weighty, with strong presence and clear differentiation.
Best suited to headlines, standfirsts, pull quotes, and other short-to-medium text where a strong italic voice is desired. It can work effectively in editorial layouts and promotional typography where contrast and slanted rhythm add emphasis, while remaining legible enough for larger-size text settings.
The overall tone is assertive and editorial, pairing traditional serif formality with a lively, energetic italic motion. Its contrast and sharp finishing give it a dramatic, print-forward feel suited to confident, headline-driven communication.
Designed to deliver a forceful, classic serif italic with heightened contrast and a polished, print-centric finish. The goal appears to be an attention-getting, conventional serif voice that reads as established and authoritative while still feeling energetic and contemporary in texture.
Spacing and rhythm read intentionally dynamic: some letters feel more expansive than others, enhancing an expressive, display-leaning texture. The italic construction stays consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and numerals, helping long lines retain momentum without losing clarity.
