A brisk, right-leaning serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and tapered stroke endings that give the outlines a calligraphic, engraved feel. Serifs are bracketed and sharp, with lively entry/exit strokes and occasional swash-like terminals, especially in lowercase. The texture is dark and rhythmic, with compact counters and a relatively small lowercase body compared with the capitals, producing a strong headline color. Figures and capitals show sturdy verticals and refined curves, while the italic construction adds momentum through angled stress and sweeping diagonals.
Well suited to editorial display such as magazine features, pull quotes, and chapter openers where a strong, elegant italic voice is desired. It also fits book covers, cultural posters, and premium packaging where a classic serif with noticeable contrast can carry tone and hierarchy.
The font conveys a traditional, literary tone with a sense of ceremony and flourish. Its contrast and italic energy read as confident and expressive, suggesting classic print craftsmanship rather than neutral utility.
The design appears intended as a conventional serif with an expressive italic emphasis, combining traditional bracketed serifs with a lively, calligraphic stroke flow. It aims to deliver a polished, classical impression while remaining legible at display sizes and in short text passages.
Capital forms feel stately and slightly wide with crisp curves, while the lowercase is more animated, featuring distinctive terminals and pronounced joins that enhance personality. The numerals share the same contrast and italic rhythm, with curvy forms that feel bookish rather than geometric.
