A robust serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a consistent rightward slant. The letterforms show tapered, bracketed serifs and wedge-like terminals, with strong vertical stems and compact internal counters that create a dense texture in text. Curves are firm rather than delicate, and joins often form sharp, triangular transitions that give the outlines a slightly chiseled, energetic rhythm. Spacing reads generous for a serif of this weight, helping keep lines from collapsing despite the dark color.
This design works best for display and short-to-medium runs of text where strong typographic personality is desired—magazine headlines, pull quotes, book covers, and packaging are natural fits. In dense paragraphs it will produce a dark, emphatic color, so it is particularly effective where contrast and impact are priorities.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, projecting authority and a traditional, bookish seriousness. The italic slant and calligraphic stress add a sense of motion and emphasis, making the voice feel assertive rather than quiet or neutral.
The font appears intended as a conventional serif with added emphasis through slant and strong contrast, delivering a traditional reading voice while remaining visually distinctive at larger sizes. Its sturdy shapes and crisp terminals suggest a focus on impactful editorial typography rather than quiet, low-contrast body text.
Uppercase forms appear especially weighty and confident, while the lowercase maintains a steady, readable pattern with clear differentiation between similar shapes. Numerals match the text weight and style, with bold presence suitable for headings or callouts.
