A steeply slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and heavy, bracketed serifs that anchor the forms. Strokes show a calligraphic logic, with tapered terminals and occasional flicks that create a lively, forward rhythm. Counters are relatively compact and the joins feel sculpted, producing a dense, emphatic texture in text. The lowercase features sturdy, rounded bowls and robust entry/exit strokes, while capitals are broad-shouldered and strongly weighted for headline presence.
Best suited for headlines, pull quotes, covers, and other editorial display work where strong contrast and a pronounced slant add energy. It can also support branding and packaging that want a traditional serif voice with extra punch, and works well for short-to-medium text runs at larger sizes where the bold texture remains clear.
The overall tone is classic and assertive, pairing traditional bookish cues with a showier, italicized swagger. It reads as formal and editorial, with a slightly theatrical edge that suits dramatic emphasis without becoming decorative.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif foundation with heightened contrast and an energetic italic stance, optimizing for impact and expressive emphasis. Its bold, sculpted serifs and calligraphic details suggest a focus on confident display typography that still feels rooted in classic print traditions.
The numerals share the same high-contrast, italic construction and appear designed to hold weight in display settings. Spacing and rhythm feel geared toward impactful lines rather than airy, minimalist composition, with strong dark shapes that maintain consistency across uppercase, lowercase, and figures.
