This is a slanted serif with robust, weighty stems and pronounced contrast between thick main strokes and finer connecting strokes. The letters show a distinctly calligraphic construction: curves swell into teardrop-like joins, and many terminals are subtly flared or hooked, giving the forms a slightly swashy, sculpted feel. Serifs are bracketed and energetic rather than rigid, and the overall rhythm reads as wide and open with generous internal counters. Numerals and capitals carry the same forward-leaning, display-oriented stress, with strong diagonals and lively, rounded shapes.
It performs best in headlines, deck copy, and pull quotes where its bold presence and lively italic rhythm can lead the page. It also suits branding, packaging, and book or magazine covers that want a traditional serif voice with extra emphasis. In longer text, it will be most comfortable at larger sizes where the high-contrast details and decorative joins remain clear.
The tone is classic and assertive, with a dramatic, editorial presence reminiscent of traditional headline typography. Its flourished joins and brisk slant add a sense of motion and flair, creating a confident, slightly vintage voice suited to attention-grabbing composition.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif foundation with added drama through a strong slant, high-contrast stroke modulation, and subtly embellished terminals. The goal seems to be an attention-forward text serif for display-led typography that still feels rooted in classic editorial forms.
Round letters like O/Q show strong internal oval counters and a dynamic stress, while pointed and diagonal letters (V/W/X/Y) feel especially punchy due to the heavy outer strokes and tapered interiors. The lowercase has a sturdy, compact texture that stays readable but clearly leans toward display use, especially as sizes increase.
