A slanted serif with pronounced stroke modulation and tapered terminals, giving the letterforms a distinctly calligraphic rhythm. Serifs are bracketed and sharp enough to read as traditional, while many strokes end in teardrop-like or wedgey terminals that emphasize motion. Curves are full and slightly squarish in places, with lively joins and a forward-leaning texture; counters stay open despite the heavy presence of thick stems. The numerals follow the same energetic, angled construction, with clear thick–thin contrast and compact, ink-trap-free shapes.
Well-suited to editorial design, book and magazine typography, and any setting that benefits from a traditional serif with strong emphasis and motion. It can provide authoritative, high-impact headlines and refined pull quotes, and it also works for branding where a classic, expressive voice is desired.
The overall tone feels classic and bookish, with a confident, slightly theatrical flair. Its strong diagonal stress and sculpted terminals evoke old-world printing and formal editorial typography, while the italic energy adds expressiveness suitable for emphatic or voice-driven text.
The design appears intended to merge conventional text-serif structure with a more expressive italic, using strong contrast and tapered detailing to create a confident, print-forward voice. It aims for readability in continuous text while delivering a distinctive, energetic texture for display and emphasis.
The texture in paragraph setting appears dark and assertive, with noticeable movement along the baseline created by the slant and the varying terminal shapes. Capitals look sturdy and ceremonial, while the lowercase shows more personality through curved entry/exit strokes and subtly swashed details.
