A high-contrast serif with a pronounced rightward slant and a dark, weighty color. Strokes move between thick verticals and hairline joins, with bracketed wedge-like serifs and frequent ball or teardrop terminals that give many letters a soft, rounded finish. Curves are full and slightly inflated, counters are generous, and the italic construction shows a rhythmic, calligraphic flow with a bit of playful swelling in joins and diagonals. Numerals and capitals carry the same strong contrast and angled stress, producing a compact but energetic texture in text.
Well-suited to headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where contrast and italic motion add emphasis. It also fits magazine and book-cover typography, boutique packaging, and poster work that benefits from a classic, expressive serif with a strong ink-on-paper impression.
The overall tone feels vintage and editorial, mixing formality with a personable, slightly flamboyant charm. Its slanted, high-contrast forms read as confident and expressive, suggesting a classic printed feel rather than a strictly neutral text voice.
The font appears designed to deliver a conventional serif foundation while injecting more motion and personality through italic calligraphic cues, pronounced contrast, and rounded terminal details. The intent seems to balance readability with a distinctive, display-friendly voice.
The design’s character is driven by its distinctive terminals and bracketed serifs, which create a recognizable silhouette at display sizes. In paragraph settings the heavy presence and strong contrast can make the page feel dramatic, favoring intentional typographic emphasis over invisibility.
