A strongly slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sculpted, bracketed serifs. Letterforms are broad and weighty, with rounded bowls and crisp, tapered terminals that create a lively diagonal rhythm. Capitals feel sturdy and traditional, while the lowercase shows more calligraphic movement, including a single-storey “a” and a slightly flowing “g,” giving the text a dynamic, printed-italic texture. Figures are robust and curvy, matching the same high-contrast stroke logic and angled stress.
Well suited to headlines, subheads, and editorial callouts where a traditional serif voice is desired but with extra movement and emphasis. It can also support branding and packaging that want a classic, premium feel with a more dynamic, slanted presence than a neutral text serif.
The overall tone is confident and authoritative, with a classic, newspaper-like gravitas. Its energetic slant and sharp finishing details add drama and momentum, balancing formality with a touch of flair.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif foundation with heightened contrast and a pronounced italic voice, producing an expressive, attention-grabbing texture for prominent typography.
At display sizes the angular joins, brisk diagonals, and wedge-like finishing strokes read especially clearly, producing a bold, poster-friendly silhouette. In longer passages the strong contrast and forward lean create a distinctive, emphatic texture that prioritizes character over neutrality.
