A compact, right-leaning serif with sturdy stems and subtly flared terminals that broaden into wedge-like, bracketed endings. The letterforms show a controlled, low-contrast structure with crisp, angular serif shapes and slightly tapered joins, giving strokes a carved, inked feel rather than a geometric one. Counters are relatively tight and the rhythm is dense, with narrow proportions and a consistent slanted axis across both upper- and lowercase. Numerals follow the same emphatic, slightly calligraphic construction, with pointed tips and firm, weighty curves.
This font is best used where a dense, high-impact texture is desirable—headlines, titling, and short-form editorial display. It can also work for pull quotes or cover typography where the angled serif voice adds energy without relying on high contrast.
The overall tone feels traditional and editorial, with a confident, slightly theatrical emphasis created by the strong slant and sharp serif endings. It reads as assertive and cultured—suited to language that aims for gravitas, wit, or classic sophistication rather than neutrality.
The design appears aimed at delivering a classic serif voice with added momentum from an italicized stance and flared, wedge-like terminals. It prioritizes presence and texture for display settings while keeping the structure disciplined and consistent across the character set.
Uppercase forms are stately and compact, while the lowercase maintains a steady texture that stays dark on the page. The punctuation and basic figures visually match the serif language, reinforcing a unified, print-oriented personality.
