A slanted serif face with strongly modulated strokes and crisp, bracketed serifs. The letterforms show a calligraphic influence: thick-to-thin transitions are pronounced, joins are smooth, and terminals often taper into wedge-like finishes. Counters are relatively compact and the overall color is dark and steady, with lively rhythm created by the italic stress and angled entry/exit strokes. Numerals and capitals feel sturdy and slightly condensed in their internal spaces, maintaining a cohesive, print-oriented texture in running text.
Best suited to display sizes and short-to-medium text where its strong contrast and italic rhythm can add character—such as editorial headlines, pull quotes, book covers, and refined packaging. It can also work for branding and titling that needs a traditional serif voice with added emphasis.
The font conveys a classic, editorial tone with a confident, slightly dramatic presence. Its strong modulation and pronounced slant read as energetic and expressive while still remaining traditional and bookish.
The design appears intended to offer a conventional serif foundation with a more expressive, italic-driven voice—pairing traditional proportions and serifs with bolder modulation to create impact in titles and prominent text.
The shapes favor sharp diagonals and angled finishing strokes, giving words a forward-moving cadence. Round letters (like O/o) keep a firm, weighty perimeter, while diagonals (V, W, X, Y) emphasize the italic momentum and contrast in stroke thickness.
