A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. Curves are generously rounded while joins and entry strokes taper sharply, producing a lively, calligraphic rhythm. Many glyphs show teardrop/ball-like terminals and occasional swashiness (notably in lowercase forms), and spacing feels open enough for display while still reading as a cohesive text serif. Numerals and capitals carry strong, sculpted silhouettes with high-contrast strokes that emphasize diagonal stress.
Best suited for headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other short-to-medium runs where contrast and slanted rhythm can carry the design. It can also work for book covers and premium packaging-style typography when used with ample size and leading to preserve the fine strokes.
The overall tone is theatrical and polished, combining old-style elegance with a confident, attention-grabbing slant. It reads as refined and slightly flamboyant, suggesting premium editorial styling rather than utilitarian text setting.
Likely designed to deliver a classic serif voice with heightened contrast and an expressive italic stance, balancing traditional structure with decorative terminal details to create a distinctive display texture.
The lowercase shows more personality than the uppercase, with more pronounced terminal shaping and curvier forms, which adds a lively texture in words. The italic angle and high-contrast detailing become especially prominent at larger sizes, where the tapered strokes and terminals are most visible.
