A slanted, high-contrast serif with a calligraphic stress and sharply cut terminals. Stems and joins show pronounced thick–thin modulation, while serifs are braced and slightly flared, giving stroke endings a sculpted, tapered feel rather than blunt slabs. The letterforms have compact, energetic proportions with tight internal counters in places, and the italic rhythm is strong and continuous across words. Numerals echo the same contrast and angled construction, with crisp entry/exit strokes and decisive curves.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, pull quotes, and editorial titling where the pronounced contrast and italic flow can be appreciated. It also fits book and magazine covers and poster work that benefits from a classic, high-impact serif voice.
The overall tone is formal and editorial, with a dramatic, confident slant that reads as classic and slightly theatrical. Its sharp terminals and emphatic contrast convey sophistication and urgency, suitable for expressive typographic statements rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to combine traditional serif authority with the energy of a strong italic, using flared, braced endings and sharp terminals to heighten drama and clarity at larger sizes. Its consistent slant and contrast suggest a focus on expressive display typography that still carries an established, literary feel.
In text, the italic angle and contrast create a lively, forward motion, and the braced serifs help maintain structure at display sizes. The design’s crisp points and narrow apertures can make it feel dense and intense, especially in longer passages, but it delivers strong presence in headlines and short runs.
