A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a crisp, sculpted finish. The serifs read as sharply cut and slightly wedge-like, with smooth bracketing into the stems. Curves are taut and elliptical, with narrow apertures in letters like C, S, and e, and a steady, slightly compact rhythm that keeps color even in text. Capitals feel stately and angled, while the lowercase shows calligraphic influence in the entry/exit strokes and the tapered terminals; figures follow the same energetic italic stress with clear contrast and a traditional, lining presence.
Well suited for editorial typography such as magazines, essays, and book interiors where an italic serif voice is needed for emphasis, pull quotes, or chapter-openers. It can also serve in refined headlines and subheads, especially when a classic, energetic slant and strong contrast are desired.
The overall tone is traditional and literary, with an assertive, dignified slant that suggests formality and established editorial voice. Its sharp terminals and high contrast add a refined, slightly dramatic flavor suited to cultured, serious messaging rather than casual or playful use.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif reading experience with an italic-forward personality—combining traditional proportions with crisp, calligraphy-informed detailing. It aims to provide a formal, authoritative texture while remaining legible and composed in continuous text.
Stroke endings often resolve into pointed or beveled terminals, giving the face a crisp, engraved-like bite at display sizes. The italic stress is consistent across letters and numerals, and the counters stay relatively tight, which helps maintain a dark, authoritative texture in paragraphs.
