A right-leaning serif with strong thick–thin modulation and sharply defined, bracketed serifs. Strokes show a calligraphic flavor, with tapered entries and exits and slightly pointed terminals that keep the forms crisp even at heavier weight. Proportions are generous and set with open counters, while the rhythm is lively due to the oblique stress and energetic diagonals. The italic lowercase uses single-storey forms (notably a and g) and prominent extenders, giving the text a flowing, forward-moving texture.
Well-suited to editorial typography where an italic voice needs to carry real weight—magazine headlines, feature openers, and emphatic pull quotes. It also fits branding and packaging that want a classic serif foundation with a more dynamic, attention-grabbing slant, and it can work in short-to-medium text where a forceful, stylized texture is desirable.
The overall tone is assertive and theatrical, combining traditional bookish cues with a pronounced sense of motion. It reads as polished and intentional rather than casual, lending a sense of emphasis and momentum to headlines and short passages.
The design appears aimed at delivering a bold, high-impact italic that retains conventional serif structure while amplifying contrast, angle, and calligraphic sharpness for expressive typesetting.
Numerals are similarly slanted and weighty, matching the letterforms with clear contrast and sturdy serifs. Curves tend to come to slightly sharpened joins, and diagonals (such as in V, W, X, and k) feel particularly taut, reinforcing the energetic texture in continuous text.
