A slanted serif design with pronounced thick–thin contrast and sculpted, bracketed serifs. Strokes show a calligraphic logic, with tapered terminals and subtly curved joins that keep the rhythm lively rather than rigid. Uppercase forms feel sturdy and slightly expansive, while the lowercase is energetic with rounded bowls, a single-storey “g,” and a distinctly angled, flowing “y.” Numerals are weighty and shaped with the same italic momentum, reading clearly at display sizes.
This style excels in headlines, editorial titling, and pull quotes where its contrast and slanted energy can provide emphasis. It also suits book covers and branding that want a traditional serif presence with expressive movement. For long passages, it’s best used at comfortable sizes and with generous leading to maintain clarity.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, with a confident, dramatic voice that suggests tradition filtered through a lively, human hand. It feels assertive and formal, yet not cold—more expressive and literary than strictly utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif foundation with a pronounced italic, calligraphic character—prioritizing strong typographic color and expressive rhythm for impactful reading at larger sizes.
The italic angle and high contrast are especially apparent in the sample text, where wide, dark word shapes and sharp serif cues create strong texture. Counters stay open enough to keep letters recognizable, but the heavy contrast and slant make it most comfortable when given room to breathe.
