A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs that often taper into wedge-like points. Curves are full and smooth, with a slightly calligraphic stress and energetic entry/exit strokes. Terminals frequently finish in subtle balls or teardrops (notably in figures and several lowercase forms), while caps keep a sturdy, sculpted presence with tapered arms and sharp corners. Spacing and rhythm feel conventional for text, but the forms show enough flare and taper to read as distinctly display-capable at larger sizes.
This face is well suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and magazine typography where contrast and italic energy help set tone. It can also support book-cover titling and brand applications that want a classic serif voice with extra motion, and it scales effectively into poster or campaign settings where its terminals and tapers can be appreciated.
The overall tone is traditional and formal, with a slightly theatrical, editorial punch coming from the strong contrast and brisk italic movement. It suggests heritage and credibility while still feeling lively and expressive, suitable for voice-driven typography rather than purely neutral text.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif foundation with heightened italic expressiveness—combining editorial readability cues (clear serifs and familiar proportions) with sharper contrast and more animated terminals for emphasis and personality.
Numerals lean into oldstyle-like dynamics with noticeable curvature and rounded terminals, reinforcing the calligraphic character. The lowercase includes a few swash-leaning details and pronounced joins that add texture in words, especially in letters with descenders and curved shoulders.
