A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and clear diagonal stress. Serifs are sharp and bracketed, with tapered entries and exits that give strokes a slightly calligraphic, carved feel. The proportions read generously set with sturdy capitals and a comparatively compact lowercase, while round letters show crisp inner counters and energetic terminals. Details like ball terminals, angled crossbars, and teardrop-like joins contribute to a lively rhythm despite the strong contrast.
Best suited to headlines, magazine/editorial typography, and other display roles where its high-contrast italic character can be appreciated. It can also work for short passages such as intros, pull quotes, and refined brand wordmarks where a classic, formal voice is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and assertive, projecting a bookish, old-world elegance with a touch of theatrical flair. Its slant and sharp finishing strokes add momentum and emphasis, making text feel poised and slightly ceremonial rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif reading tradition through a more emphatic, italicized, high-contrast lens—balancing classic construction with expressive stroke endings for attention-grabbing typographic impact.
In text, the dark weight and contrast create a strong typographic color; spacing appears comfortable but the italic angle and pointed serifs can build a busy texture at small sizes. Numerals follow the same high-contrast, serifed construction and feel suited to display contexts alongside the letters.
