A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a distinctly calligraphic rhythm. Stems are sturdy and dark, while hairlines stay sharp, producing crisp contrast at display sizes. Serifs are bracketed and often flared, with angled entry/exit strokes that create pointed, energetic terminals. Counters are moderately open and the overall set feels spacious and wide, with lively shaping in letters like a, g, y, and Q that adds movement without becoming decorative.
Well-suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and cover typography where contrast and italic motion can be featured. It can also work for premium branding and packaging that benefits from a traditional serif voice, especially when set with generous tracking and leading.
The tone is classic and editorial, with a confident, slightly dramatic elegance. Its italic posture and high-contrast detailing suggest refinement and tradition, evoking bookish sophistication and upscale publishing aesthetics.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif foundation enhanced with a pronounced italic, calligraphic sensibility—balancing readability with a more expressive, high-contrast texture for editorial and display use.
The uppercase has a strong, steady presence suited to headings, while the lowercase shows more cursive influence and swash-like turns that increase personality. Numerals follow the same contrast and slant, reading as polished and formal rather than utilitarian.
