A right-leaning serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and brisk, tapered terminals. The letterforms show bracketed serifs and a slightly calligraphic construction, with round bowls and curved joins that keep the rhythm lively despite the dark overall color. Counters are moderately open, while terminals and serifs sharpen into wedges that emphasize direction and movement. Proportions feel traditionally bookish, with compact lowercase forms and a dynamic, slightly condensed impression in some capitals and numerals.
Best suited for headlines, decks, pull quotes, and other display roles where contrast and slant can add momentum. It also fits editorial and book-cover typography that benefits from a traditional serif voice with extra bite, while remaining legible enough for short text passages and captions at moderate sizes.
The tone is classic and editorial, with a confident, slightly theatrical flair. Its energetic italic stance and crisp finishing details evoke vintage print and headline typography, giving text an assertive, crafted voice rather than a neutral one.
The design appears intended to deliver a traditional serif reading texture while adding a more dramatic, attention-forward personality through a strong italic angle, crisp wedge-like terminals, and lively contrast. It balances conventional proportions with expressive detailing to stand out in print-like, editorial contexts.
Capital forms have a strong, stylized presence (notably in letters like A, M, N, and W) and maintain consistent contrast across the set. The numerals follow the same high-contrast logic with sturdy weight in verticals and sharply tapered curves, supporting attention-grabbing settings.
