A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed serifs. Stems and diagonals taper into fine hairlines, while entry and exit strokes show a subtle calligraphic influence that keeps the texture lively. The shapes feel slightly expanded with generous counters, and the rhythm alternates between sturdy verticals and swift, angled joins. Numerals and capitals carry the same sharp terminals and high-contrast construction, producing a clean, assertive silhouette at display sizes.
Well suited to book and magazine typography, especially for headings, pull quotes, and introductory text where contrast and italic rhythm can add emphasis. It can also serve in brand identity and packaging that benefit from a classic serif voice with a more animated, editorial slant.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, with an editorial polish that reads as confident and slightly dramatic. Its energetic slant and sharp detailing add a sense of motion and sophistication, suggesting a voice that is formal but not stiff.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif foundation with a more expressive italic personality—combining classic proportions and bracketed serifs with sharper contrast and a calligraphic, lively flow for emphasis-driven typesetting.
The most distinctive impression comes from the combination of crisp serif finishing and strong contrast: thin linking strokes and hairline terminals create sparkle, while heavier main strokes maintain authority. The italic construction is consistent across uppercase, lowercase, and figures, helping long lines of text feel cohesive and intentional.
