A right-leaning serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharply defined, bracketed serifs. The letterforms show a calligraphic stress, with crisp joins and tapered entry/exit strokes that give many glyphs a slightly carved, inked feel. Counters are moderately open, capitals are broad and steady, and the lowercase keeps an even rhythm with compact, energetic curves; several glyphs (notably in the lowercase and figures) feature small ball terminals and beak-like finials that add bite at the ends. Numerals follow the same slanted, high-contrast construction, reading as display-friendly figures rather than purely utilitarian text ones.
Well suited to magazine and newspaper headlines, book and chapter titles, pull quotes, and other editorial display settings where contrast and italic movement can carry emphasis. It can also work for formal invitations or branding that wants a classic serif voice with extra energy, especially at medium-to-large sizes.
The overall tone is confident and traditional, with an editorial seriousness tempered by a lively, expressive slant. It suggests classic book and newspaper typography, but with enough sharpness and flair to feel theatrical and attention-grabbing in headlines.
The font appears designed to deliver a conventional serif foundation with an assertive italic character, prioritizing expressive rhythm and sharp detailing for prominent typography. Its contrast and terminal treatment aim to create a refined, dramatic texture that reads as both traditional and distinctive.
The design maintains a consistent diagonal movement across both roman capitals and lowercase, helping lines of text look fast and cohesive. Strong stroke contrast and pointed detailing make it especially striking at larger sizes, where the terminals and bracketed serifs are most legible.
