This is a slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a crisp, engraved feel. Serifs are bracketed and sharp, with tapered terminals and occasional teardrop-like details that give the strokes a calligraphic finish. Uppercase forms are compact and slightly condensed, while the lowercase shows a smooth, flowing rhythm with curved joins and angled stress. Counters are relatively tight and apertures tend to be restrained, producing a dark, ink-rich texture in text.
It performs best in editorial settings where contrast and elegance are assets—magazine headlines, pull quotes, chapter openers, and book or poster titling. It can work for short to medium passages when set with ample size and spacing, but its dark color and sharp details make it especially compelling for display and emphasis.
The overall tone is refined and assertive, combining traditional bookish manners with a more dramatic, display-leaning energy. Its slant and sharp serifs add motion and sophistication, making it feel suitable for polished, high-end communication rather than casual UI text.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif reading voice with heightened contrast and a lively italic stance, bridging text tradition with a more attention-grabbing, headline-ready presence.
The numerals and caps share the same strong contrast and pointed detailing, helping headings feel cohesive with body copy. In longer lines the texture becomes dense, so it benefits from generous tracking and comfortable line spacing, especially at smaller sizes.
