A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and a compact, ink-trap-free construction. Serifs are firmly bracketed and wedge-like, giving strokes a crisp entry and exit while keeping counters open. The italic angle is consistent and paired with a sturdy rhythm: rounded letters show tightened apertures and strong stress, and capitals have a slightly engraved, display-leaning presence without becoming ornate. Figures follow the same right-leaning, high-contrast logic, with curving terminals and clear differentiation between forms.
Well suited to headlines, pull quotes, and other editorial typography where a classic serif voice with added motion is desired. It can also serve for book and magazine titling, refined posters, and brand identities that want a traditional foundation with a more forceful, dynamic slant.
The overall tone is traditional and assertive, with a distinctly editorial flavor. Its energetic slant and sharp serif finishing add drama and momentum, while the conventional proportions keep it grounded and formal.
Designed to deliver a conventional serif impression with heightened contrast and an italic-driven sense of speed. The intention appears to be a readable, familiar text-serif structure tuned for impactful display and editorial emphasis.
At text sizes the lively stroke modulation and angled joins create a strong typographic texture, especially in mixed-case settings. The letterforms read best when given a bit of space to let the contrast and serif detailing breathe.
