A slanted serif with pronounced stroke contrast and a strongly calligraphic rhythm. Stems are weighty and tapered into thin, crisp hairlines, with bracketed serifs that often end in pointed or wedge-like terminals. The curves show a lively pen-driven modulation, and several letters feature ball or teardrop terminals (notably in the lowercase), giving the design a sculpted, slightly ornamental finish. Proportions feel sturdy and compact in the capitals, while the lowercase leans into rounded bowls and energetic joins that keep texture dense and consistent in paragraphs.
Well suited to editorial design where a darker, high-contrast texture is desirable—magazine features, book typography, and opinion or culture sections. It can also carry short-form display roles such as headings, pull quotes, and refined brand wordmarks, where the tapered serifs and calligraphic motion read as premium and established.
The font reads as traditional and cultured, with an old-world editorial sensibility. Its sharp serifs and confident contrast lend authority, while the italic slant and soft terminals add a hint of flourish that feels literary rather than decorative. Overall it conveys formality and gravitas suited to established institutions and classic publishing contexts.
Likely designed to deliver a classic text-serif voice with heightened drama and movement, balancing traditional construction with a more expressive italic energy. The goal appears to be strong typographic presence and readability in editorial settings, with enough distinctive terminals and contrast to stand out in display sizes.
In the sample text, the strong contrast and tight internal spacing create a dark, assertive color on the page, especially at larger sizes. Numerals appear lining with clear differentiation (notably the open curves and angled terminals), and the italic angle is steady across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, reinforcing a unified, intentional slant.
