A slanted serif with pronounced stroke contrast and a lively, calligraphic rhythm. Serifs are tapered and wedge-like with gentle bracketing, and many joins show smooth, pen-influenced transitions. Capitals feel sturdy and slightly expansive, with crisp terminals and controlled curves; lowercase forms are compact but energetic, with open counters and a noticeably sloped axis that reinforces forward motion. Numerals match the text voice, mixing firm verticals with curving strokes and angled terminals for consistent texture across lines.
It works especially well for headlines, pull quotes, and editorial typography where a strong, elegant italic voice is desired. The sturdy contrast and crisp serifs also make it a good choice for book covers, magazine mastheads, and promotional layouts that need a classic tone with extra emphasis.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, projecting confidence and seriousness while retaining a sense of motion and flair. Its italic stance and sharp finishing details add drama and emphasis, making it feel suited to rhetoric, commentary, and cultured branding rather than minimal or purely utilitarian work.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif foundation with an expressive italic character—combining classic proportions with sharper, pen-driven details to create emphasis, hierarchy, and a refined print-like presence.
In the sample text, the font builds a strong, dark line with clear word shapes and distinct punctuation, emphasizing contrast and angled stress. The design reads as intentionally expressive for a conventional serif, with a slightly theatrical silhouette in curved letters and a crisp, engraved-like finish at many terminals.
