A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sturdy, bracketed serifs. The forms show a calligraphic, slightly lively rhythm: curved strokes swell into bold bowls while hairlines stay crisp, and joins are smooth rather than abrupt. Uppercase proportions feel traditional and weighty, with strong vertical presence; lowercase is compact with a moderate x-height and clear, rounded counters. Numerals read as oldstyle-like in feel, with varied widths and flowing curves that match the italic movement.
This font performs best in headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other prominent editorial settings where contrast and italic motion can be appreciated. It also suits book and magazine titling, posters, and formal announcements that benefit from a classic serif tone with added emphasis.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, combining formality with a spirited italic energy. Its strong contrast and confident shapes give it a dramatic, authoritative voice suited to refined but expressive typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice in an italic form, emphasizing contrast, elegance, and textual authority without becoming ornate. It balances conventional proportions with a lively, calligraphic cadence for expressive display typography.
The italic angle is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures, and the heavier strokes keep the face sturdy at display sizes. Terminals and serifs tend toward tapered, slightly curved finishes that reinforce the hand-influenced character while remaining clean and conventional.
