A robust italic serif with sturdy, bracketed serifs and a pronounced rightward slant. Strokes show clear modulation without becoming delicate, creating a confident, dark texture in text. The letterforms are fairly broad with generous bowls and open counters, and the italic construction feels calligraphic rather than mechanical, with smooth entry/exit strokes and occasional ball-like terminals. Numerals share the same weight and slant, reading clearly at display sizes with strong curves and stable footing.
Well suited for editorial headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where a strong italic can carry emphasis without sacrificing clarity. Its sturdy serif structure also works for short blocks of text in magazines, catalogs, and literary or cultural materials where a traditional tone is desired.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, with a confident, slightly energetic italic voice. It feels traditional and bookish, yet bold enough to read as assertive for headlines or pull quotes.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif voice in a forceful italic, prioritizing readability and a rich printed color while adding movement and emphasis through a calligraphic slant.
Spacing appears comfortable in running lines, helping the dense weight avoid clogging. The italic rhythm is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, producing a cohesive, flowing line that still retains strong typographic presence.
