A bold, right-leaning serif with pronounced contrast between thick verticals and fine hairlines. Serifs are bracketed and often slightly flared, with tapered terminals that keep the heavy weight from feeling blunt. Curves are generous and slightly teardrop-shaped in places, while diagonals (V, W, Y, v, w) show energetic, angled joins. The overall texture is dense and dark in paragraph settings, but the crisp hairlines and open counters preserve clarity at display sizes.
Best suited to headlines, deck copy, and short-to-medium editorial passages where a dark, emphatic serif can carry strong voice. It also fits packaging and book-cover typography that benefits from a classic yet energetic italic presence.
The tone reads traditional and editorial, with a confident, slightly dramatic slant. It carries a bookish authority while still feeling lively due to its calligraphic stress and lively terminals.
The design appears intended to deliver a high-impact serif italic that balances classical book typography cues with display-level assertiveness. Its strong contrast, bracketed serifs, and animated curves suggest a focus on expressive readability for editorial and branding contexts.
Uppercase forms are sturdy and headline-friendly, with a rounded, weighty O/Q and a distinctive, sweeping Q tail. Lowercase characters show a more cursive influence (notably a, e, g, y), lending motion and personality. Numerals follow the same italic rhythm with strong curves and compact proportions.
