A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. The forms show a calligraphic pull in the curves and terminals, with compact counters and a sturdy overall color on the page. Capitals are broad and assertive, while lowercase features rounded bowls, a single-storey a, and a lively g with a distinct ear; numerals follow the same energetic, angled rhythm. Overall spacing feels generous enough for display, with strong letter-to-letter presence and clear stroke logic.
Works well for headlines and short-to-medium passages where a strong serif voice and italic emphasis are desired, such as magazine features, book covers, pull quotes, and title treatments. The robust contrast and slant help it stand out in promotional and editorial layouts where a more conventional roman might feel too neutral.
The tone is classic and editorial, combining traditional bookish cues with a more dramatic, energetic slant. It reads as confident and slightly theatrical—suited to messaging that wants authority without feeling rigid.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif reading experience with heightened emphasis and momentum through a true italic construction. It prioritizes expressive stroke contrast and a confident silhouette for impactful typography in editorial and display contexts.
Diagonal stress and the sharp, tapered joins create a sense of forward motion, especially in curved letters and punctuation-like details such as the Q tail and the long descenders. The italic construction is consistent across upper- and lowercase, giving text a cohesive, continuous rhythm in paragraphs and headlines.
