A slanted, high-contrast serif with crisp, wedge-like serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. Strokes feel calligraphically constructed, with pointed joins and flared terminals that sharpen the silhouette, especially on diagonals. Capitals are sturdy and slightly wide with clean, angular serifs; lowercase shows compact bowls and a steady, readable x-height while maintaining lively stroke movement. Numerals carry the same italic rhythm and contrast, with strong diagonals and tapered ends that keep figures punchy in display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, pull quotes, titling, and other prominent text where contrast and sharp serif detailing can be appreciated. It can work for short editorial passages at larger sizes, but its strong modulation and pointed terminals make it most effective when used for emphasis in magazines, book covers, and brand-forward applications.
The overall tone is confident and classical, with an editorial sharpness that reads as premium and slightly dramatic. Its energetic slant and cutting terminals add momentum and emphasis, suggesting tradition with a contemporary edge rather than a soft or casual voice.
The font appears designed to deliver a traditional serif structure with heightened contrast and a decisive italic cadence, prioritizing impact and elegance in display and editorial contexts. Flared terminals and wedge serifs reinforce a crafted, calligraphic impression while keeping forms crisp and assertive.
The design leans on crisp wedge details and tapered entry/exit strokes, creating a lively baseline rhythm and a slightly condensed feel in some letters without looking narrow overall. The contrast and pointed shaping produce strong word images, particularly in all-caps and short phrases.
