This is a slanted serif with pronounced stroke contrast and a strong, calligraphic construction. Thick verticals and tapered hairlines create sharp internal rhythm, while bracketed, flared serifs and teardrop-like terminals add a refined, slightly swashy finish. Proportions read expansive, with broad capitals and generous set widths; counters are relatively compact in many letters due to the heavy stress and robust stems. The italic angle is consistent and lively, and the numerals match the letterforms with similarly dramatic contrast and sturdy weight.
Best suited for headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, and other prominent editorial applications where contrast and slant can carry tone. It can work well in branding and packaging that aims for a premium, classic impression, especially at medium to large sizes.
The overall tone is confident and upscale, with a traditional, editorial flavor. Its dramatic contrast and sweeping italic movement suggest sophistication and formality, leaning toward a literary or fashion-leaning voice rather than a neutral, utilitarian one.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice with heightened contrast and italic energy, prioritizing impact and elegance. It emphasizes a classic print sensibility—bracketed serifs, calligraphic stress, and bold presence—aimed at expressive, attention-getting typography.
The caps have a strong presence and a classic silhouette, and the lowercase shows noticeable calligraphic stress that becomes more expressive in rounded forms. In longer text, the heavy weight and tight inner spaces make it feel dense and emphatic, favoring statement setting over quiet reading.
