A robust italic serif with pronounced rightward slant, compact curves, and bracketed serifs that read as traditional rather than geometric. Strokes show a calligraphic influence with gently modulated thickness and smooth joins, while counters stay fairly open for a dark, steady texture. The lowercase has a relatively tall x-height and round, oldstyle-style forms; terminals often finish in soft balls or tapered flicks. Capitals are sturdy and slightly narrow in feel, with confident serifs and a consistent italic rhythm that carries through to the numerals.
This design suits editorial headlines and subheads, book or magazine titling, pull quotes, and other applications that benefit from an emphatic italic voice. It can also work for short-form text or captions when a strong, traditional accent is desired, though its weight and slant make it most effective in larger sizes.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, projecting authority and cultivated sophistication. Its dense color and energetic slant add urgency and emphasis, giving it a persuasive, headline-ready character without feeling decorative.
The font appears designed to deliver a conventional serif reading experience with an italic that can stand on its own as a primary voice—combining traditional serif detailing with a sturdy, attention-grabbing texture for display and editorial use.
The italic construction is continuous and deliberate, producing a strong forward flow in words and a cohesive line rhythm. Round letters (like o, e, c) appear generously filled, contributing to the font’s dark, confident presence at display sizes.
