A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sturdy, bracketed wedge-like serifs. Curves are full and rounded, while joins and terminals show a subtly calligraphic hand, creating a lively rhythm across words. Proportions lean broad with generous counters and a solid, weighty color on the page; the numerals match the text weight and share the same energetic stress and tapered endings.
Best suited for display and editorial settings where the bold, high-contrast italic can work as a focal voice: magazine headlines, pull quotes, book covers, and branding that wants a classic serif tone with extra motion. It can also serve for short blocks of text when a strong, stylish emphasis is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and authoritative, with a warm, slightly flamboyant energy from the italic movement and sculpted serifs. It reads as literary and editorial rather than minimal, lending a sense of heritage and confidence to headlines and short passages.
The design appears intended as a classic, print-oriented italic serif with enough weight and contrast to command attention. Its broad proportions and sculpted terminals suggest a focus on expressive readability—combining traditional serif structure with a more animated, headline-ready presence.
The italic angle is consistent and gives lines a strong forward motion, especially in round letters and diagonals. Heavier strokes and firm serifs keep the texture dense, while the high contrast adds sparkle in larger sizes and reinforces a refined, print-like character.
