A slanted serif with a pronounced calligraphic construction and clearly bracketed, wedge-like serifs. Strokes show strong thick–thin modulation with sharp, tapered joins and pointed terminals that create crisp edges in both caps and lowercase. Proportions are slightly condensed with lively, uneven rhythm across glyphs, and the italic angle is consistent, giving the line a forward, energetic flow. Numerals and capitals carry the same sharp, sculpted contrast, producing a dark, authoritative texture in text.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and editorial typography where a distinctive italic voice is desirable. It can also work for book covers or magazine features that benefit from a classic, high-contrast serif with strong emphasis and pace.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, with an editorial sophistication that reads as confident and slightly dramatic. Its sharp contrast and brisk slant suggest formality and craft, evoking bookish refinement rather than casual friendliness.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif voice with heightened emphasis through an energetic italic stance and pronounced contrast. It aims for a crafted, print-oriented look that signals seriousness and elegance while remaining visually forceful at display and prominent text sizes.
The heavier italic presence yields strong word shapes and a pronounced texture, especially in mixed-case settings. Curved letters show tight, controlled bowls and hooked exits, and the design maintains a cohesive, chiseled silhouette across the alphabet and figures.
