A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a distinctly calligraphic construction. Strokes show diagonal stress, with tapered joins and bracketed serifs that often end in sharp, slightly flared terminals. The capitals are sturdy and sculptural with wedge-like finishing, while the lowercase is more fluid, featuring ball terminals and lively entry/exit strokes (notably in a, f, g, y). Proportions are generous and open, with rounded forms that maintain clear counters despite the strong contrast.
Best suited for headlines, pull quotes, and short-to-medium runs of text where contrast and slant can be appreciated. It works particularly well in magazine layouts, book covers, event posters, and brand wordmarks that want a classic serif voice with added dynamism.
The overall tone feels traditional and editorial, with a confident, slightly theatrical slant that suggests printed literature and headline typography. Its energetic curves and emphatic terminals add a sense of motion and elegance, reading as refined rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif foundation with an overt italic, calligraphic emphasis—combining traditional bookish cues with a more expressive, attention-grabbing rhythm for editorial and display settings.
Numerals follow the same calligraphic rhythm, with curved strokes and distinct figure shapes that stand out well in display sizes. The italic angle is consistent across cases, and the design keeps a steady baseline presence while allowing expressive diagonals in letters like k, v, w, and x.
