A slanted serif with pronounced stroke contrast and crisp, tapered terminals. Serifs are bracketed and often wedge-like, with a calligraphic feel that shows in the teardrop-like joins and lively entry/exit strokes. Proportions are generous and open, with round forms that stay compact while ascenders and capitals carry a strong forward-leaning emphasis. The numerals and uppercase share the same high-contrast rhythm, producing a bold, polished texture at display sizes.
Best suited for headlines, pull quotes, covers, and other editorial display settings where its contrast and slant can be appreciated. It can also work for branding and campaign typography that aims for a classic-but-dramatic voice, especially when set with ample line spacing and careful tracking.
The overall tone is dramatic and refined, blending traditional bookish cues with a more theatrical, fashion-forward slant. Its sharp transitions and sweeping strokes give it a confident, high-impact presence that feels formal but energetic rather than quiet or purely academic.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional serif foundation with heightened contrast and a pronounced italic posture, creating a more expressive, attention-grabbing version of a familiar text-serif style for display-led typography.
In running text, the strong diagonal stress and heavy thick strokes create a dark color and a distinctive cadence; spacing feels intentionally airy to keep counters readable despite the contrast. Curved letters (like C, S, and O) emphasize smooth, continuous motion, while angled strokes in letters like K, V, W, and X add crispness and bite.
