A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modeling and a compact, ink-trap-free silhouette. Strokes show diagonal stress with brisk, tapered entry and exit strokes, and bracketed serifs that often end in subtly rounded or ball-like terminals. Counters are moderately closed in letters like a, e, and s, while uppercase forms feel sturdy and slightly condensed in their interior space due to the weight and contrast. The overall rhythm is energetic, with sharp angles in v/w/x and a lively, calligraphic flow through curved letters and joins.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short to medium-length editorial passages where the slanted, high-contrast construction can add emphasis and personality. It can also work well for branded print materials such as posters or packaging that benefit from a classic, authoritative serif voice.
The tone reads editorial and traditional, with a confident, slightly theatrical flair. Its slant and high-contrast shapes give it a sense of motion and emphasis, making text feel deliberate and expressive rather than neutral.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif structure with added dynamism through an italicized, calligraphic stress and emphatic contrast. It prioritizes expressive texture and strong typographic color for display and editorial settings.
Numerals appear sturdy and display-leaning, matching the letterforms’ contrast and slant; curved figures (like 3, 6, 8, 9) show strong modulation and prominent terminals. Spacing in the sample text suggests a dense, headline-friendly color where the weight and contrast create strong word shapes.
