A strongly slanted serif with crisp, high-contrast strokes and sharply cut, wedge-like terminals. The capitals are broad and stately with compact, bracketed serifs and pronounced diagonal stress, while the lowercase shows a calligraphic rhythm with angled joins, tapered strokes, and lively ascenders/descenders. Curves are tightened and slightly angular, and the overall texture reads dark and energetic, with clear emphasis on stroke modulation rather than monoline uniformity.
Best suited to headlines, cover typography, and prominent editorial moments where a classic serif voice is desired but with added motion and impact. It can work for short text settings such as pull quotes or introductions, though the strong slant and contrast make it most effective when used at medium to large sizes.
The tone is classic and editorial, combining a traditional bookish feel with a more theatrical, assertive presence from the steep slant and sharp finishing. It suggests formality and heritage, but with enough motion and contrast to feel dynamic and attention-getting in display settings.
The design appears intended to reinterpret a conventional serif with a pronounced italicized stance and chiseled, calligraphic detailing, producing a darker, more dramatic texture for display and editorial emphasis while keeping familiar serif proportions.
Numerals and capitals share the same sharply sheared, chiseled finishing, creating a cohesive voice across text and figures. Spacing appears relatively open for such a dark, contrasty design, helping counterbalance the heavy diagonals and maintain readability in short passages.
