A brisk, right-leaning serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a distinctly calligraphic rhythm. Serifs are bracketed and often sharpen into wedge-like feet and beaks, while many joins and terminals show teardrop/ball-like finishing. The overall color is dark and assertive, with tight interior counters and energetic diagonals in letters like N, V, W, and Y. Lowercase forms are compact with sturdy verticals and expressive details such as a single-storey g and a lively, curled j tail; numerals follow the same slanted, high-contrast logic with rounded bowls and pointed terminals.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and display typography where its contrast, slant, and crisp serifs can be appreciated. It can work in short editorial passages or front-matter text when ample leading and careful spacing are used, and it pairs well with understated companions for body copy.
The tone is traditional and editorial, with a confident, old-world flavor that reads as formal and slightly theatrical. Its slanted posture and sharp serifs add momentum and emphasis, giving text a persuasive, headline-forward presence rather than a quiet, neutral voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice with extra energy and emphasis, combining classical proportions with italic motion and dramatic contrast for strong typographic presence in editorial and promotional settings.
Stroke contrast and pointed terminals create sparkle at larger sizes, while dense spacing and strong weight can make long passages feel intense. Curved letters (C, G, S, a, e) show a clear diagonal stress, reinforcing the handwritten influence within a conventional serif framework.
