A slanted serif with pronounced stroke modulation and crisp, tapered serifs that read as bracketed wedges. The letterforms show a strong diagonal stress and sharp, clean terminals, with compact counters and sturdy verticals that keep the silhouette firm at display sizes. Spacing feels measured rather than airy, and the rhythm is driven by tall capitals, decisive serifs, and energetic italic movement across both uppercase and lowercase.
This face is well suited to editorial headlines, magazine features, and book-cover typography where an emphatic italic serif can carry tone and hierarchy. It can also work for pull quotes and short blocks of text when you want a classic, high-energy texture and strong typographic presence.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, conveying authority and polish with a distinctly literary italic flavor. Its sharp serifs and energetic slant suggest formality and seriousness, suitable for settings that want a classic, cultivated voice rather than a casual one.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional, classic serif voice in a more emphatic, slanted form—combining traditional proportions with sharper, more assertive detailing for display-led editorial use.
Figures appear similarly inclined and robust, with clear contrast and a slightly compressed feel that helps maintain a tight, confident texture. The design favors crisp edges and pointed details, which adds sparkle in headlines but can look intense if set too tightly.
