A slanted serif with sturdy, dark strokes and clearly bracketed serifs that taper and flare into the terminals. The forms show a calligraphic, pressure-driven logic: thick verticals, sharpened joins, and angled stroke endings that create a lively diagonal rhythm. Uppercase proportions feel generous and open, while the lowercase is compact with rounded bowls and energetic, slightly asymmetric curves. Numerals are weighty and characterful, with noticeable variation in width and strong, readable silhouettes.
Well suited to headlines, subheads, and prominent editorial text where an expressive italic serif can carry tone and hierarchy. It should work especially well on book covers, magazine features, pull quotes, and branded communications that need a classic voice with visible typographic character.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, with an editorial polish that reads as confident and authoritative. Its italic energy adds a sense of movement and emphasis, giving text a persuasive, cultured voice rather than a casual one.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice with added motion and emphasis through an italic structure and flared, calligraphic terminals. It balances strong, dark presence with refined serif shaping to create a distinctive, high-impact reading texture.
The sharp, tapered terminals and swelling stems give the face a distinctly sculpted texture in paragraphs, producing pronounced word shapes and a steady reading cadence. It looks designed to hold up at display and subhead sizes where the serif detailing and diagonal stress remain visible.
