A right-leaning serif with pronounced stroke contrast and a broadly proportioned, open set. Forms show a calligraphic, diagonal-stress feel: thick vertical/oblique stems paired with hairline joins and tapered terminals. Serifs are bracketed and sharp, with wedge-like entry and exit strokes that create a crisp, carved rhythm. Curves are full and smooth, counters are generous, and the overall texture is dark but controlled, giving lines of text a strong, continuous flow.
Best suited to headlines and short-to-medium passages where its contrast and dark color can work as a design feature—magazine typography, book covers, promotional layouts, and brand wordmarks. It can also support pull quotes or subheads where a classic serif voice with added momentum is desired.
The tone is assertive and polished, combining classical bookish cues with a more forceful, display-ready presence. Its slanted posture and sharp finishing strokes add drama and momentum, suggesting an editorial, premium sensibility rather than a casual one.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional text-serif foundation with heightened contrast and an italicized, calligraphic bite for stronger emphasis and presence. It prioritizes elegance and impact, aiming for a refined, editorial voice that remains legible while feeling elevated and dynamic.
Capital shapes read stately and slightly expanded, while lowercase maintains a steady, readable rhythm with compact joins and distinct hairline details. Numerals appear sturdy and stylized, with noticeable contrast and angled terminals that match the letterforms’ energetic slant.
