A right-leaning serif with pronounced stroke modulation and strongly bracketed, wedge-like serifs. The design shows a calligraphic underpinning: curved entries and exits, swelling bowls, and a rhythmic thick–thin pattern that stays consistent across caps, lowercase, and numerals. Counters are fairly open for the weight, while terminals often finish in sharp, tapered points that add snap to the silhouette. The overall spacing feels generous and the letterforms read on a wide set, giving lines a broad, energetic texture.
This font is well suited to headlines and subheads where an italic serif with strong contrast can carry personality without losing clarity. It also fits magazine and book-cover typography, pull quotes, and brand marks that want a classic foundation with added motion. For longer passages it can work best at comfortable sizes with ample leading to preserve its crisp, high-contrast details.
The tone is assertive and editorial, combining traditional book-serif cues with a more animated italic drive. It feels polished and established, yet slightly theatrical due to the sharp terminals and emphatic contrast. The result is a confident, attention-getting voice suited to prominent typographic moments.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif structure with a more expressive, italic-forward presence. Its wide set, sharp terminals, and consistent contrast suggest a focus on elegant emphasis and high-impact editorial typography rather than plain, utilitarian text setting.
Capital forms are sturdy and sculpted, while the lowercase shows more pronounced movement in shoulders and joins, reinforcing a flowing line rhythm. Numerals share the same oblique stance and contrast, keeping mixed text cohesive and visually continuous.
