A compact, right-leaning serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a lively, calligraphic stroke rhythm. Serifs are sharp and wedge-like with bracketing, and many terminals taper to fine points, giving the outlines a crisp, chiseled finish. Counters are relatively tight and the overall color is dense, while curved letters show strong contrast and a slightly angled stress. The figures and capitals feel energetic and slightly condensed in gesture, with consistent slant and assertive joining shapes that keep the texture cohesive in text.
Best suited to editorial headlines, magazine display, book-cover titling, and other situations where a classic serif voice needs extra motion and emphasis. It can also work for pull quotes and short passages where a dense, dramatic texture is desirable.
The tone is classic and emphatic, combining old-style bookishness with a theatrical, poster-like punch. Its energetic slant and sharp terminals lend a confident, rhetorical voice that feels suited to headline statements rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif foundation with an italicized, calligraphy-informed edge—prioritizing expressive contrast, sharp serif detailing, and a strong typographic presence for display-forward composition.
In running text the rhythm is driven by bold vertical strokes and fine entry/exit hairlines, producing a textured, dynamic line. The lowercase shows a traditional, text-serif structure with italicized forms, and the numerals carry the same pointed serif treatment for a unified typographic palette.
