A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin contrast and crisp, bracketed serifs. Strokes show a calligraphic influence: entries and terminals often taper, curves are energetic, and joins produce a lively rhythm rather than a strictly mechanical construction. Uppercase forms are sturdy and slightly expansive, while lowercase has a flowing italic ductus with noticeable ascenders and a compact, text-oriented x-height. Numerals follow the same italic stress, with clear old-style-like movement and angled terminals that keep the line lively.
This style is well suited to editorial typography such as magazine headlines, book and chapter titles, pull quotes, and other emphasis-setting roles. It can also work in branding and packaging where a classic, refined tone is desired, and in posters or invitations that benefit from a dramatic, high-contrast italic presence.
The overall tone is bookish and cultivated, with a traditional, editorial voice. The strong contrast and italic energy add drama and emphasis, lending a confident, slightly formal character suited to expressive typography rather than neutral UI text.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif foundation with an assertive italic voice—combining classic text-serif conventions with heightened contrast and calligraphic movement to create strong typographic emphasis in titles and prominent copy.
Letterforms show consistent diagonal stress and a steady cadence across words, with occasional swash-like terminals that add flair without becoming ornamental. The texture in the sample paragraph is dense and dark, producing strong typographic color and clear emphasis at display sizes.
