A bold, right-leaning serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and strongly bracketed serifs. Letterforms show a calligraphic, slightly oldstyle construction with soft curves, tapered terminals, and swelling strokes that create a lively, ink-like rhythm. Counters are generally open and the overall silhouette is sturdy, with energetic diagonals in letters like K, V, W, and X. Figures and lowercase share the same forward motion, with rounded forms (0, 8, 9) showing clear contrast and smooth joins.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other typographic moments where a strong, elegant voice is needed. It can also work on book covers and posters, especially where an italic serif is intended to carry the primary typographic personality.
The design reads as assertive and editorial, combining a traditional bookish foundation with a dramatic, promotional slant. Its strong contrast and italic momentum lend it a sense of urgency and emphasis, while the serif detailing keeps the tone classical and refined.
This font appears designed to deliver a classic serif voice with heightened emphasis—using strong contrast, a pronounced italic slant, and sturdy serifs to create an attention-grabbing, editorial-forward texture.
The texture in paragraph settings is dark and emphatic, with noticeable stroke contrast and compact internal spaces in some letters at heavier sizes. The italic angle and tapered terminals create a consistent forward flow across long lines, making it particularly impactful for display-like text blocks.
