This is a slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharply tapered terminals. Serifs are bracketed and wedge-like, with a calligraphic, slightly engraved feel rather than blunt slab forms. Curves are smoothly drawn and the joins stay crisp, while the overall rhythm shows subtle width variation and lively, ink-trap-free counters that remain open at text sizes. Numerals and capitals carry strong vertical stress and confident finishing strokes, producing a distinctly sculpted silhouette in both display and paragraph settings.
Well suited to editorial typography such as magazines, book covers, and feature headlines where a traditional serif voice is desired with added emphasis from the slant. It can also work for pull quotes, section openers, and formal branding applications that benefit from strong contrast and a classic typographic footprint.
The tone is classic and literary, evoking traditional book typography and established editorial design. Its slant and high contrast add a sense of momentum and sophistication, lending headings and pull quotes a refined, authoritative voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional, bookish serif impression with heightened drama through contrast and an assertive italic stance. Its shaping prioritizes elegant stroke endings and a disciplined serif system to project credibility while remaining expressive enough for display-led typography.
The italic construction reads as a true italic rather than an obliqued roman, with energetic entry/exit strokes and a cohesive calligraphic flow across uppercase, lowercase, and figures. The bold color and contrast make it particularly striking in larger sizes, while the consistent serif shaping helps maintain a stable baseline and clear wordforms in continuous text.
