A bold, right-leaning serif with pronounced flared stroke endings and wedge-like serifs that read as softly bracketed rather than slabby. Strokes show moderate contrast, with thick main stems and slimmer joins that keep counters open and legible at display sizes. The letterforms have a slightly calligraphic energy: curves swell into terminals, diagonals feel springy, and the overall rhythm is dynamic without becoming ornate. Proportions are fairly traditional with a steady x-height and sturdy capitals, while widths vary naturally across glyphs for a text-like cadence.
Well suited to editorial headlines, magazine features, and pull quotes where a strong italic voice is desired. It also fits book jackets and cultural posters that benefit from a traditional serif foundation with added movement and emphasis.
The face conveys a classic, literary tone with a confident, editorial presence. Its italic slant and flared detailing add a sense of motion and emphasis, giving headlines a persuasive, slightly dramatic character while still feeling rooted in traditional book typography.
The design appears intended to merge classic serif structure with expressive italic momentum, using flared terminals and sturdy weight to deliver high-impact reading at larger sizes. Its detailing suggests a focus on persuasive display typography that still references text tradition.
The numerals appear robust and print-oriented, with the 0 staying clean and open and the 1 featuring a strong angled top and base. The lowercase shows distinct, readable shapes (notably the single-storey a) and a lively, slightly chunky texture that suits emphatic setting.
