A slanted serif with strongly modeled strokes and pronounced thick–thin contrast. The letterforms show an oldstyle influence: rounded bowls, gently tapered stems, and bracketed serifs that flare into wedge-like terminals. Curves are full and somewhat compressed at joins, with occasional teardrop/ball-like finishing on lowercase forms, giving the rhythm a sculpted, inked feel. Numerals are weighty and curvilinear, matching the italicized, high-contrast texture of the letters.
Best suited to display roles where its strong contrast and italic motion can carry impact—magazine and newspaper headlines, feature pull quotes, posters, and packaging. It can also serve for short, prominent passages in books or reports where a classic serif voice is desired.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, projecting authority and tradition with a lively, calligraphic energy. Its bold, slanted presence feels suited to emphatic, attention-grabbing typography while maintaining a bookish, heritage character.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice with heightened emphasis through a bold italic stance, combining oldstyle proportions with crisp contrast for punchy display typography.
In text settings the slant and contrast create a pronounced diagonal flow, producing a dark, energetic color on the page. Capitals read stately and compact, while the lowercase adds movement through curved entries and tapered terminals, helping headlines feel dynamic rather than rigid.
