A right-leaning serif with strong, weighty strokes and clearly bracketed serifs that taper into pointed, wedge-like terminals. The forms show a calligraphic influence: curved joins, swelling bowls, and energetic stroke modulation that gives letters a dynamic rhythm without becoming overly ornate. Uppercase proportions feel compact and sturdy, while the lowercase has rounded counters and slightly open apertures, maintaining clarity at text sizes. Numerals follow the same slanted, sculpted construction, with angled entries and crisp finishing strokes.
Well suited to editorial headlines, magazine typography, and book-jacket titling where a classic serif voice is desired with added energy. It can also support brand marks, packaging, and short blocks of emphasis text that benefit from a bold, expressive italic texture.
The overall tone is editorial and traditional, projecting confidence and authority while retaining a sense of motion from the italic angle and sharpened terminals. It reads as formal but not stiff, with enough flourish to feel expressive in headlines and pull quotes.
The design appears intended to provide a traditional serif foundation with a more dramatic italic attitude—combining sturdy, readable forms with sharpened terminals and calligraphic movement for high-impact typography.
The italic construction is consistently applied across capitals, lowercase, and figures, creating a cohesive texture. Pointed terminals and angled stress add sparkle in large sizes, while the robust stroke weight helps maintain presence in dense settings.
