A slanted serif with crisp, bracketed wedge serifs and pronounced thick–thin modulation. The strokes show a calligraphic, right-leaning flow with taut curves and sharp entry/exit terminals, producing a lively, slightly compressed rhythm. Uppercase forms feel sturdy and formal, while the lowercase is more animated, with a single-storey a and g, a curved descender on y, and a compact, energetic texture in running text. Numerals are robust and strongly modeled, matching the italic cadence and high-contrast construction.
This font is well suited to magazine and newspaper-style typography, especially for headlines, decks, and pull quotes where an italic serif can add momentum and authority. It can also work effectively on book covers and title pages where a classic, high-contrast italic voice is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, with a confident, print-oriented presence. Its sharp serifs and brisk italic motion give it a dramatic, persuasive voice suited to emphasis and headline-led storytelling, while still retaining a refined, bookish character.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic italic serif feel with heightened contrast and sharp, bracketed serifs for strong typographic color. It balances formal uppercase structure with a more expressive lowercase to create an energetic, editorial-ready texture.
Counters are relatively tight and the joins and curves are clean, which helps the design read as crisp and purposeful at display sizes. The italic angle is consistent across letters and figures, reinforcing a unified, forward-moving line.
