A slanted serif with assertive weight and compact proportions, combining sturdy verticals with softened, flaring stroke endings. Serifs are bracketed and often wedge-like, with a slightly calligraphic feel created by curved joins and teardrop-like terminals on select letters. The capitals read formal and steady, while the lowercase introduces more movement through lively descenders (notably in g, j, y) and a gently tapered, ink-trap-free silhouette. Counters stay fairly open for the width, and the rhythm is punchy, with strong dark–light patterning across text lines.
Best suited to headlines, subheads, and short editorial passages where its compact width and energetic italic stance can add emphasis. It can also work well on book covers, posters, and branding systems that want a classic serif voice with extra motion and presence.
The overall tone is literary and editorial, suggesting tradition with a touch of theatrical flair. Its slant and swelling terminals lend a confident, expressive voice that feels suited to cultured headlines rather than quiet neutrality.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif foundation with added dynamism through slant, swelling terminals, and subtly calligraphic detailing, creating a strong display texture that still reads as typographic and structured.
In the sample text, the face maintains a dense, high-contrast texture at display sizes, with italic energy that remains controlled rather than cursive. Numerals appear sturdy and slightly old-style in spirit, with pronounced curves and weighty lower bowls that match the text color of the letters.
