A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and firmly bracketed wedge serifs. The forms show a calligraphic, slightly sheared construction: round letters have angled stress, joins are taut, and terminals tend toward sharp, tapered finishes. Proportions are on the broader side with ample interior counters, while capitals appear sturdy and compact with strong horizontal serifs that anchor the line. The lowercase carries a lively rhythm with energetic entry/exit strokes, producing a distinctly italic texture that remains solid at display sizes.
This style is well suited to headlines, deck copy, and pull quotes where strong contrast and italic motion add emphasis. It also fits editorial branding, book and magazine covers, and formal promotional materials that benefit from a classic serif voice with extra drama.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with a dramatic, editorial flair. Its sharp contrast and brisk slant feel expressive and confident, evoking printed literature and established institutions while still reading as assertive and modern in headlines.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif foundation with heightened contrast and a purposeful italic energy, balancing classic bookish cues with attention-grabbing punch for display typography.
Numerals follow the same energetic italic logic, with clear stroke contrast and decisive finishing strokes. The texture in paragraphs is dark and emphatic, with noticeable movement along the baseline due to the slant and tapered terminals.
