A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a sculpted, slightly calligraphic construction. Stems and joins feel robust and tapered, with bracketed, flared-looking terminals that broaden into the serifs and give the strokes a carved, inked impression. Proportions lean broad and open, with generous counters and a steady rhythm that keeps dense words from clogging. Curves are smooth and full (notably in rounds), while diagonals and arms maintain crisp, confident edges, producing a strongly modeled silhouette across both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other display-forward editorial applications where its contrast and slanted energy can carry the page. It can also serve branding and packaging needs that want a classic serif voice with extra drama and presence, and it holds up well for short blocks of text when generous size and spacing are available.
The overall tone is editorial and emphatic—polished enough for refined settings, but with a bold, dramatic slant that reads energetic and persuasive. It suggests tradition and credibility while still feeling contemporary through its strong contrast and wide, sweeping shapes.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif reading experience with heightened contrast and a pronounced italic drive, using flared, bracketed finishing to add sculptural character. It aims for strong impact and clarity in editorial and promotional typography while maintaining a traditionally grounded serif vocabulary.
The italic angle is substantial and consistent, and the numerals share the same high-contrast modeling and flared finishing, helping mixed text (caps, lowercase, figures) maintain a unified texture. In running copy the letterforms create a dark, smooth typographic color with clear word shapes, while in larger sizes the tapered joins and flared terminals become a defining stylistic feature.
