A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs that feel carved rather than mechanical. Strokes taper into terminals and joints with a subtle calligraphic pull, producing a rhythmic, slightly springy texture in lines of text. Proportions are moderately compact with clear counters and assertive capitals; italics are emphasized by angled entry/exit strokes and gently curved stems that keep the forms energetic without becoming script-like.
Works best for editorial typography where contrast and italic energy are assets: magazine headlines, pull quotes, book and journal covers, and refined brand statements. It can also serve in short blocks of text where a classic serif tone is desired, though the strong contrast and slant will be most effective at larger sizes.
The overall tone reads traditional and editorial, with a confident, bookish voice suited to serious content but not austere. Its strong contrast and lively slant add drama and momentum, giving headlines a persuasive, old-world sophistication.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif foundation with heightened italic expressiveness—combining crisp, traditional serifs with sculpted contrast to project authority and elegance in display and editorial settings.
In the sample text, the heavier stems and tapered serifs create strong word shapes and a distinctive texture, especially in diagonals and rounded letters. Numerals appear robust and display-friendly, matching the italic posture and contrast of the letters.
