A robust italic serif with pronounced calligraphic movement and strong thick–thin modulation. The serifs are bracketed and sharply tapered, with wedge-like terminals and energetic entry/exit strokes that give the letters a forward-driving rhythm. Capitals are compact and weighty with crisp interior counters, while the lowercase shows a more handwritten flavor through curved joins, angled stress, and lively ascenders/descenders; overall spacing feels moderately tight but even, producing a dense, cohesive text color.
Well-suited to editorial settings such as magazines, literary layouts, and book typography where an italic with presence is needed. It can serve effectively for headings, standfirsts, pull quotes, and emphasis in running text, particularly when a traditional, high-contrast italic voice is desired.
The tone is classic and assertive, suggesting traditional editorial typography with a touch of theatrical flourish. Its slanted, high-contrast forms feel expressive and elegant, leaning toward a dignified, old-world voice rather than a neutral contemporary one.
The design appears intended to deliver a strong, traditional italic companion for text-oriented serif typography, prioritizing elegant contrast and a calligraphic cadence. It aims to balance readability with character, providing an italic that can carry both emphasis and display-like authority.
Distinctive details include a swashy, calligraphic feel in several lowercase forms and a notably stylized ‘z’, contributing to a decorative edge without leaving the realm of conventional text serif styling. Numerals follow the same italic, tapered logic, reading best when given adequate size and leading so the sharp terminals and contrast remain clear.
