A high-contrast serif italic with a broad, confident stance and pronounced thick–thin transitions. Strokes taper sharply into wedge-like, bracketed serifs, with pointed terminals and crisp joins that give the letterforms a cut, engraved feel. The italic slant is consistent and lively, with moderate, controlled curves and a slightly condensed internal rhythm despite the generous overall set width. Counters stay open and sturdy at display sizes, while the hairlines remain delicate and precise.
Best suited to display applications such as headlines, magazine features, book covers, and pull quotes where the sharp contrast and dramatic italic movement can be appreciated. It can also work for short, high-impact text in branding or packaging that calls for a traditional, premium voice.
The tone is classic and emphatic—suited to refined, traditional typography but with enough bite to feel dramatic and headline-ready. Its strong contrast and sharp serifs evoke bookish authority and editorial polish, leaning more ceremonial than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif italic with heightened contrast and a bold, attention-forward presence—combining traditional letterform cues with a sharper, more theatrical finish for modern editorial and titling use.
Capital forms are particularly weighty and sculptural, and the numerals follow the same contrasty logic with prominent thick strokes and fine connecting hairlines. The overall texture is dark and attention-grabbing, favoring impact over subtlety in continuous reading.
