A slanted serif design with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. The outlines favor sharp terminals, tapered joins, and energetic entry/exit strokes that create a lively, calligraphic rhythm. Capitals are broad and assertive, while the lowercase shows flowing forms with occasional swash-like turns (notably in letters such as a, f, j, and y). Numerals follow the same high-contrast, italicized construction with clear, sculpted curves and small finishing strokes.
Best suited to display typography such as headlines, magazine and editorial titles, book covers, and promotional materials where contrast and slant can provide emphasis. It can also work for short-form text like pull quotes, chapter openers, or elegant invitations when set with generous leading and mindful sizing.
The overall tone is authoritative and literary, balancing traditional bookish manners with a theatrical, headline-ready sweep. Its strong contrast and italic momentum give it a confident, slightly flamboyant voice suited to expressive, upscale settings.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with heightened drama through italic slant, strong contrast, and refined detailing, offering an expressive alternative to a purely utilitarian text serif.
The italic angle is consistent across cases, and the spacing reads open enough for display sizes while retaining a dense, dark color in paragraphs. Curves are full and rounded (especially O/Q and the bowls in b/p), contrasted by sharply cut terminals and fine hairlines that add sparkle in larger settings.
