This typeface is a right-leaning serif with assertive, flared stroke endings and bracketed, wedge-like serifs that give strokes a broadened finish rather than a flat terminal. Letterforms show a calligraphic, pen-driven rhythm: curved joins, tapered entries, and slightly swelling stems create lively texture across words. Uppercase proportions feel traditional and sturdy, while the lowercase maintains clear, rounded counters and a consistent slant, producing a steady reading line. Numerals follow the same italicized, serifed construction with firm weight and open shapes that hold up at display sizes.
It performs best in headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and cover typography where its strong slant and flared serif details can be appreciated. It also suits editorial layouts and premium branding applications that want a classic, literary feel with added movement and emphasis.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, with a sense of refinement and authority typical of bookish or journal typography. The energetic slant and flared endings add a confident, slightly dramatic voice—formal without feeling rigid—suited to sophisticated branding and headline work.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice with an italic, calligraphic cadence, using flared terminals to add warmth and dynamism while retaining a formal, print-oriented sensibility.
The design’s visual interest comes from its stroke modulation and expanding terminals, which create a dark, crisp page color and strong word silhouettes. The italic construction reads as intentional and continuous across capitals, lowercase, and figures, reinforcing a cohesive, traditional typographic character.
