A right-leaning serif with pronounced contrast between thick and thin strokes and crisp, bracketed serifs. The forms are relatively expansive with open counters and a sturdy, weighty presence, while the thin hairlines stay fine and tapered. Curves transition smoothly into stems, and terminals often finish in pointed, slightly calligraphic tips that emphasize the slanted rhythm. Numerals appear oldstyle with varying heights and prominent diagonals, reinforcing a traditional, text-oriented construction.
Well suited to editorial typography—magazine features, book titles, chapter openers, and pull quotes—where a traditional serif voice with added emphasis is desirable. It can also work for upscale branding and packaging that benefits from a classic, authoritative tone and a dynamic italic texture.
The overall tone feels classic and editorial, with a confident, slightly dramatic slant that reads as cultured and literary. Its sharp hairlines and strong serifs add a sense of formality and authority, while the italic movement brings energy and sophistication.
The design appears intended to blend conventional serif structure with an energetic, calligraphic slant, delivering a traditional reading voice that feels more emphatic and display-ready. Its high modulation and crisp detailing suggest a focus on elegance and impact rather than neutrality.
In the samples, the diagonal stress and tapered joins create a lively texture, especially in mixed-case settings. The weight and contrast make it visually striking at larger sizes, while the generous interior spaces help preserve clarity despite the strong stroke modulation.
