A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and energetic, calligraphic construction. The serifs are bracketed and often wedge-like, with terminals that taper or curl, giving strokes a lively entry and exit. Proportions lean generously wide with open counters and a steady, legible rhythm; lowercase forms show a traditional, oldstyle influence and a distinctly drawn italic with flowing joins and curved stress. Numerals follow the same angled, high-contrast logic, with elegant curves and sharp, tapered details.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, magazine features, and book-cover titling where contrast and slant can create impact. It also works effectively for posters and pull quotes, especially when you want a traditional serif tone with heightened emphasis and motion.
The overall tone feels editorial and literary, combining classical refinement with a bold, theatrical presence. Its strong diagonal movement and sharp contrasts add drama and urgency, while the serif detailing keeps it grounded in tradition and formality.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif reading voice with added emphasis through italic energy and strong contrast, aiming for expressive typography that remains recognizably classic. It balances familiarity with a more demonstrative, display-leaning texture for attention-grabbing settings.
In text settings the slant and contrast create a pronounced texture, with dark vertical accents and crisp hairlines that stand out at larger sizes. The character shapes show confident, slightly idiosyncratic detailing in curves and terminals, contributing to a distinctive voice without leaving the conventional serif idiom.
