A slanted serif with sturdy, dark strokes and clearly bracketed, wedge-like serifs. Curves show an oblique, calligraphic stress, with angled terminals and a slightly lively, varying rhythm from letter to letter. Capitals are broad and authoritative with rounded bowls, while lowercase forms are compact and flowing, keeping counters open and joins clean. Numerals are robust and somewhat old-style in feel, matching the serifed, angled finishing throughout.
Well-suited for magazine-style headlines, pull quotes, and book-cover titling where an assertive italic serif can carry personality. It can also work for branding and packaging that aims for heritage or craft cues, especially at display sizes where the angled details and serifs remain crisp.
The overall tone is classic and editorial, with a confident, slightly old-world flavor. Its italic motion adds energy and emphasis, while the heavy presence and traditional serif cues keep it grounded and formal.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with added emphasis and motion through a pronounced italic construction. It balances traditional proportions with slightly decorative shaping to stand out in display and editorial contexts.
Spacing appears comfortable in text, producing a steady texture despite the dynamic slant and angled terminals. The design reads as intentionally expressive rather than strictly mechanical, giving headlines and short passages a distinctive, traditional character.
