This typeface is a slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a lively, calligraphic stroke flow. Stems and joins feel subtly tapered and flared into the terminals, while the serifs are bracketed and sharp, giving edges a crisp, chiseled finish. Counters are relatively open and the rhythm is energetic, with compact curves and assertive diagonals that create a forward, sweeping texture in text. Figures match the italic energy, with angled stress and sculpted curves that keep the set cohesive in display sizes.
Well suited to editorial applications such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and feature openers where its contrast and motion add hierarchy. It also fits posters and book covers that need a classic yet high-impact voice, and can work for branding where a refined, expressive serif italic is desired.
The overall tone is editorial and literary, combining a traditional bookish foundation with a dramatic, fashion-forward slant. It reads as confident and refined rather than neutral, adding emphasis and motion to headlines and pull quotes.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice with heightened movement and emphasis, using strong contrast and flared, tapered finishing to create a distinctive, display-oriented texture. It prioritizes expressive rhythm and a polished, print-like presence over plain neutrality.
Uppercase forms project a formal, engraved-like presence, while lowercase shapes lean more cursive in movement, producing a strong contrast between structure and fluidity. The heavy strokes and sharp details create a dark typographic color that benefits from generous spacing and larger sizes.
