A bold, right-leaning serif with pronounced bracketed, wedge-like serifs and tapered stroke endings that give it a subtly calligraphic construction. The capitals are broad and steady, with crisp terminals and clear, slightly angled serifs that emphasize direction and rhythm. Lowercase forms show compact apertures and energetic joins, with a single-storey italic-style “a” and “g” and a descending “f” that reinforces the forward slant. Numerals are sturdy and readable, matching the overall heavy color and confident, editorial texture.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, and short-to-medium editorial passages where a strong serif italic can carry emphasis and character. It works especially well for magazine layouts, book and chapter titles, pull quotes, and promotional typography that benefits from a classic yet forceful tone.
The font reads as classic and literary, with a strong editorial voice and a touch of old-style warmth. Its heavy presence and brisk italic movement make it feel decisive and slightly dramatic rather than delicate.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice with extra weight and forward motion, combining conventional text-serif cues with italic energy for emphatic, attention-holding typography.
In text, the face produces a dense, high-impact typographic color with noticeable word-shape momentum from the slant and the firm serifs. The proportions and stroke endings keep it legible while still feeling stylized, especially in prominent sizes.
