This typeface is a slanted, high-contrast serif with pronounced bracketed serifs and a sculpted, slightly calligraphic stroke flow. Vertical stems feel weighty and stable while joins and curves taper into fine hairlines, creating a lively thick–thin rhythm. Counters are moderately open, with rounded bowls and soft terminals that often finish in teardrop/ball-like shapes. The overall texture is robust and dark at text sizes, with a traditional serif construction and a consistent italic angle across caps, lowercase, and numerals.
It performs well in attention-setting roles such as headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where its contrast and italic movement can be appreciated. It also suits editorial layouts and book-cover typography that benefit from a traditional, expressive serif with a strong typographic color.
The font conveys a classic, editorial tone—authoritative and polished with a touch of old-world warmth. Its strong contrast and italic emphasis give it a dramatic, declarative voice suited to refined, traditional settings rather than neutral utility typography.
The design appears intended as a conventional text-serif italic with elevated contrast and a confident, display-leaning weight, balancing readability with expressive, classical detailing. Its terminal shapes and bracketed serifs suggest an aim to evoke established print typography while providing a more forceful, modern editorial presence.
Capitals show sturdy proportions and clear serif modulation, while the lowercase has energetic curves and noticeable terminal styling that adds character in words. Numerals appear oldstyle in feel, with varying heights and a more text-like rhythm than rigid lining figures, reinforcing a bookish, traditional color.
