A slanted serif design with pronounced stroke contrast and clearly bracketed serifs. Stems feel sturdy while joins and terminals taper sharply, creating a crisp, calligraphic rhythm across words. Counters are moderately open, and the overall color is dark and energetic, with notable swelling on curves and pointed, wedge-like endings that read cleanly at display sizes. Numerals appear oldstyle, with varying heights and descending forms that match the italic movement.
Well suited to editorial typography where an italic voice is desired for emphasis—magazine headlines, pull quotes, and chapter openers. The strong contrast and dark texture also make it effective for book covers and refined branding applications that want a classic serif impression with added energy.
The font conveys a classic, literary tone with a touch of drama. Its strong contrast and confident italic angle suggest elegance and authority, while the sharp terminals add a lively, expressive edge suited to editorial emphasis.
The design appears intended as an expressive italic serif for impactful setting, balancing traditional serif structure with heightened contrast and animated terminals. Its oldstyle numerals and calligraphic stress point toward a text-and-display role where elegance and emphasis are central.
Uppercase forms are compact and assertive, pairing well with the more fluid lowercase. The italic construction is consistent throughout, and details like ball terminals and hooked finishes contribute to a distinctive, slightly theatrical texture in continuous text.
