A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharply tapered, bracketed serifs. The letterforms show an oblique, forward-leaning stance with lively, calligraphic stroke endings—especially in the lowercase, where joins and terminals often form subtle flicks and teardrop-like finishes. Proportions feel generous and open, with wide capitals and rounded bowls, while counters remain clear despite the strong contrast. Numerals and capitals share the same energetic angle and crisp detailing, producing a cohesive, display-leaning texture in text.
It works best for prominent settings where the energetic slant and contrast can be appreciated—headlines, editorial pull quotes, book or magazine titling, and poster typography. It can also suit formal, style-forward applications like invitations or branding wordmarks when a classic serif voice with added motion is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, with an assertive, theatrical flair. Its energetic italics and crisp contrast suggest elegance and formality, while the lively terminals add a hint of flourish suitable for expressive typography.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif foundation with an emphatic italic character—prioritizing elegance, speed, and dramatic contrast to create impact in display and editorial contexts while remaining legible in short passages.
In running text, the diagonal rhythm is strong and continuous, creating a fast, sweeping line. The lowercase has a distinctly cursive influence (notably in a, f, g, and y), which gives words a fluid silhouette and a more decorative presence than a purely utilitarian text italic.
