This typeface is a slanted serif with strong stroke modulation and a brisk, calligraphic construction. Letterforms show pronounced thick–thin contrast, angled stress, and bracketed wedge-like serifs that taper into strokes rather than ending bluntly. Curves are full and rounded, while joins and terminals feel sharpened and slightly flared, giving the face a lively rhythm at display sizes. The lowercase includes energetic, somewhat swashy shapes (notably in letters like g, y, and z), with compact counters and a forward-leaning stance that reinforces motion.
Best suited to headlines, magazine-style editorial settings, and other attention-forward typography where contrast and slant can be appreciated. It can work for short blocks such as subheads, pull quotes, and titling on covers or posters, especially when a classic serif voice with extra movement is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and assertive, with a polished, editorial flavor. Its pronounced contrast and italic energy create a sense of drama and sophistication, reading as classic yet expressive rather than strictly utilitarian.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif foundation with heightened elegance and motion through italic construction and strong modulation. It aims for a refined, high-impact reading experience that feels at home in traditional publishing contexts while adding expressive flair.
The numerals and capitals carry the same tapered, angled detailing as the letters, keeping a consistent texture across mixed text. In the sample paragraph the color is dark and impactful, and the slant plus high contrast create a distinctive cadence that favors emphasis and personality over quiet neutrality.
