A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, tapered terminals. Serifs are finely bracketed and often wedge-like, with a distinctly calligraphic flow through curves and diagonals. The design shows lively rhythm and slightly irregular, hand-driven shaping: bowls and counters feel sculpted rather than purely geometric, and joins create energetic stroke transitions. Uppercase forms are compact and weighty, while the lowercase maintains a steady x-height with pronounced ascenders/descenders; figures follow the same italicized, high-contrast logic.
This font is well suited to editorial headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and book-cover typography where a classic serif voice with extra energy is desirable. It can also work for short to medium text passages in print or high-resolution settings when a more characterful, traditional tone is preferred over a quiet reading face.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, with a confident, editorial presence. Its energetic slant and sharp detailing add drama and emphasis, giving it a voice suited to persuasive or expressive typography rather than neutral text color.
The design appears intended to translate a classic text-serif heritage into a more emphatic, italic-forward style, using strong contrast and sharp bracketed serifs to create elegance with momentum. It prioritizes expressive rhythm and authority, aiming to stand out in editorial and literary contexts without departing from conventional serif structure.
The italic construction is evident across both cases, with strong diagonal stress and narrow entry/exit strokes that create a brisk reading rhythm. At larger sizes the sharp terminals, tight apertures, and contrast read as refined and display-leaning, while in continuous text it produces a distinctly flavored texture.
