A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered terminals. The letterforms show bracketed serifs and wedge-like entry/exit strokes that create a lively, calligraphic rhythm, especially in the diagonals and curves. Counters are moderately open, with compact joins and a forward-leaning stance that keeps the texture dense and energetic in text. Numerals follow the same high-contrast logic with sharp angles and sculpted curves, producing a strong, display-friendly silhouette.
Well-suited to headlines, decks, and pull quotes where the italic energy and contrast can be featured. It also fits magazine design, book jackets, and poster typography that needs a classic serif voice with added motion and emphasis.
The overall tone feels editorial and classic, with a confident, slightly theatrical flourish from the italic stress and sharpened serifs. It reads as refined and authoritative, suggesting tradition and formality while still feeling active and dynamic.
The design appears intended as a conventional serif with an expressive italic character—combining traditional proportions and bracketed serifs with sharper, more calligraphic detailing to deliver strong emphasis and editorial presence.
The strong contrast and sharp terminals can create sparkle at larger sizes, while in smaller settings the dense strokes and angled details may benefit from comfortable tracking and line spacing. The italic construction is assertive rather than delicate, giving emphasis a substantial presence.
