This typeface is a bold, right-leaning serif with bracketed serifs and a distinctly calligraphic construction. Strokes show moderate contrast with firm, rounded joins, and many terminals finish in soft wedges or ball-like forms. Proportions are slightly compact with a steady rhythm, and the italic angle is consistent across caps, lowercase, and figures. The lowercase forms are sturdy and readable, with rounded bowls and energetic entry/exit strokes that give lines a smooth, forward flow.
It performs especially well in attention-setting roles such as magazine headlines, pull quotes, and book or report titles where a dense, confident text color is desirable. The robust italic structure also suits branding, packaging, and poster typography that needs a classic serif voice with added momentum.
The overall tone feels traditional and authoritative, with an editorial polish and a touch of old-style warmth. Its italic energy reads as confident and expressive rather than delicate, making it feel suitable for established, print-forward branding and headline use.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif reading voice in an italic, bold presentation—combining traditional serif cues with a more animated, calligraphy-influenced slant for emphasis and display impact.
Capitals have strong, stable silhouettes with pronounced serifs and gently curved inner shapes, helping them hold together in large settings. The numerals appear similarly weighty and italicized, matching the text color well and keeping a cohesive texture alongside letters.
