A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and a distinctly calligraphic, chiseled finish. Serifs are bracketed and often wedge-like, with crisp terminals that alternate between sharp beaks and rounded ball forms depending on the glyph. The lowercase shows lively, slightly irregular curves and a compact rhythm, with strongly angled joins and tapered strokes that keep counters open despite the heavy color. Numerals appear oldstyle with noticeable ascenders and descenders, reinforcing a text-oriented, traditional construction.
Well-suited to editorial typography where a traditional serif voice is needed with added emphasis from the italic slant—such as magazine headlines, book jackets, section openers, and pull quotes. It can also work for short passages in print-oriented settings where a strong, characterful texture is desirable.
The face projects a classic, bookish authority with an energetic, human touch. Its strong contrast and italic movement add drama and sophistication, lending a slightly historic, literary tone rather than a purely utilitarian one.
Likely designed to provide a conventional serif foundation with a more animated, calligraphic italic personality, combining high-contrast elegance with sturdy, readable forms. The oldstyle figures and pronounced terminals suggest an aim toward classic publishing aesthetics and expressive emphasis in running typography.
The slant is consistent across capitals, lowercase, and figures, producing a forward-leaning texture that reads as deliberately dynamic. The set balances sharp detailing (beaked terminals, pointed joins) with softer cues (ball terminals, swelling curves), creating a distinctive, expressive texture at display sizes.
