This typeface is a slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a crisp, sharply cut finish. Serifs are bracketed and often wedge-like, with angled terminals that give strokes a carved, calligraphic edge rather than a purely mechanical one. Proportions feel generously set, with relatively open counters and assertive curves, while the italic construction shows active entry/exit strokes and occasional swashiness in letters like the lowercase g and y. Numerals and capitals carry the same high-contrast rhythm, producing a strong, dark color in text despite the refined hairlines.
It performs best in display sizes such as headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and cover typography where its contrast and angled details can be appreciated. It can also suit short-form editorial text or emphasized passages when adequate size and line spacing preserve the fine hairlines and crisp terminals.
The overall tone is dramatic and traditional, pairing elegance with a slightly theatrical flair. It reads as confident and formal, with an editorial polish that suggests heritage and ceremony more than minimal modernity.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with heightened contrast and italic energy—aimed at attention-grabbing typography that still feels rooted in conventional book and editorial traditions.
The slant and contrast create a lively diagonal flow across words, and the sharp terminals can make spacing feel energetic, especially in mixed-case settings. The design maintains consistent contrast and serif treatment across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, supporting a cohesive typographic voice.
