This typeface is a bold, right-slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs that often resolve into slightly wedge-like terminals. The forms are compactly modeled with smooth curves and sharp joins, creating a strong, ink-trap-free silhouette suited to large sizes. Spacing appears moderately open for the weight, with steady rhythm across the alphabet; round letters (O, C, G) show generous bowls while diagonals and arms (K, V, W, Y) keep a firm, sculpted stance. Numerals are sturdy and highly legible, matching the same italic stress and contrast pattern as the letters.
It performs best in display and editorial roles where contrast and slant can be appreciated—magazine headings, book-cover titling, pull quotes, and poster typography. The sturdy weight and clear numeral design also suit short informational lines such as dates, section headers, and packaging callouts.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, with a confident, editorial flavor. Its strong contrast and italic energy add drama and momentum, making it feel authoritative rather than casual.
The design appears intended as a strong, traditional italic serif for impactful typography, combining classical proportions with heightened contrast to deliver emphasis and refinement in headline-driven settings.
Uppercase shapes read as classical and balanced, while the lowercase italic introduces a more calligraphic flow, especially visible in letters like a, e, g, and y. The serifs and terminals stay consistent across letters, giving headlines a cohesive, polished texture.
