A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a clear diagonal stress, giving the letterforms a lively, calligraphic rhythm. Serifs are bracketed and tapered rather than blocky, and many joins show smooth swelling into stems. Counters are moderately open, with compact, slightly condensed proportions in places and energetic diagonals in letters like K, V, W, and X. Terminals often finish with subtle teardrop/ball shapes or sharp wedges, while figures show traditional, flowing forms with strong contrast and italic momentum.
Best suited for editorial display and emphasized text such as headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and book or magazine titling. It can also work for upscale packaging and branding where a classic, literary voice is desired, especially at medium to larger sizes where the contrast and detailing read cleanly.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, evoking book typography and established print conventions while still feeling assertive due to the heavier strokes and crisp contrast. Its slant and dynamic stroke endings add a persuasive, expressive flavor suited to refined emphasis rather than neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif reading texture with added emphasis from an italic stance and strong contrast, balancing traditional structure with expressive, pen-informed detailing. It prioritizes a polished, authoritative presence that still feels fluid and human in its stroke behavior.
The face maintains a consistent italic angle across capitals, lowercase, and numerals, with a noticeable baseline flow in descending forms like g, j, p, q, and y. Capitals appear sturdy and authoritative, while the lowercase shows more movement and character through curved terminals and angled entry/exit strokes.
