A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and brisk, calligraphic stroke shaping. Serifs are bracketed and wedge-like, with tapered terminals and subtly curved joins that give letters a sprung, energetic rhythm. Counters are moderately open, and proportions feel traditional with a slightly compact, text-oriented footprint; numerals follow the same angled, high-contrast logic with expressive curves and teardrop-like terminals.
Well-suited to magazine and newspaper-style typography, book and journal titling, and elegant branding where a classic serif voice is desired. It can add emphasis in pull quotes, section headers, and packaging or labels that benefit from a traditional, slightly theatrical italic character.
The overall tone is classic and literary, combining formality with a sense of motion. Its italic stance and energetic contrast evoke traditional printing and editorial typography, reading as refined, confident, and slightly dramatic.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional serif foundation with heightened contrast and italic dynamism, offering a refined, print-classic feel that stands out in prominent text settings while remaining grounded in familiar text-serif conventions.
Uppercase forms keep strong vertical presence while maintaining the italic pull, and the lowercase shows a more handwritten flavor in letters like a, f, g, and y. The bold presence and sharp contrast make it particularly striking at display sizes while still retaining familiar, bookish letterforms.
