A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. Strokes show a calligraphic, slightly tapered logic with lively curves and firm terminals, producing strong texture at both display and text sizes. Proportions lean generous in width with sturdy capitals and a flowing lowercase; ascenders are prominent and the rhythm is energetic without becoming decorative. Numerals and capitals share the same high-contrast, angled stance, giving the overall set a cohesive, assertive color on the page.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, and editorial layouts where contrast and slant can add emphasis and hierarchy. It can also work for short-form text in print-oriented contexts, especially where a classic serif voice and a more expressive italic presence are desirable. The distinctive, energetic texture makes it a strong option for book covers, cultural posters, and brand wordmarks that aim for a traditional yet lively impression.
The font conveys a classic, editorial tone with a confident, slightly theatrical flair. Its italic movement and strong contrast suggest tradition and craft—suited to messaging that wants to feel established, literary, and purposeful rather than neutral or utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif foundation with an elevated, calligraphic italic personality—combining traditional proportions and serifs with stronger contrast and motion for emphasis. It prioritizes a confident page color and expressive rhythm appropriate for editorial and display roles.
Curves and joins are smooth and deliberate, and several letters show subtly expansive bowls and open counters that help keep the dense contrast from clogging in heavier settings. The slant is consistent across cases and figures, reinforcing a unified, forward-moving feel.
