A slanted serif with compact proportions and a lively, calligraphic construction. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation with tapered joins and brisk terminals, while serifs are small and bracketed, often ending in sharp, slightly hooked shapes. The rhythm is tight and vertical space is used efficiently, with narrow counters and a strong forward lean that gives lines a quick, continuous flow. Numerals follow the same italicized, high-contrast logic, with pronounced curves and crisp terminals that match the letterforms.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and other editorial settings where a classic italic voice is desired. It can also serve well on book and magazine covers and in branding applications that benefit from a traditional serif tone with added momentum.
The overall tone feels traditional and editorial, combining a bookish, old-world sensibility with an assertive, energetic slant. It reads as formal and confident rather than casual, with a touch of drama from the pointed serifs and brisk curves.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif texture through an italic-first, calligraphic approach—balancing classical serif structure with sharper, more animated details for emphasis and personality in short to medium-length text.
Uppercase forms present a sturdy, slightly condensed silhouette, while lowercase shapes emphasize motion through angled stress and tapered strokes. The italic construction is prominent enough to function as a primary voice for display or emphasized text, creating distinctive word shapes and a strong typographic color.
