A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and tapered, wedge-like terminals. The capitals feel broad and statuesque, with crisp bracketed serifs and sharp joins that emphasize a carved, calligraphic construction. Lowercase forms are lively and slightly compact, with teardrop-like counters and a right-leaning rhythm; curves (c, e, o) show strong internal contrast and angled stress. Numerals follow the same oblique, high-contrast pattern, with elegant curves and narrow joins that keep the texture crisp at display sizes.
Best suited to display and short-to-medium text where contrast and slant can contribute personality—magazine headlines, pull quotes, book and album covers, and formal printed pieces. It can also work for premium branding and packaging when a classic serif voice with dynamic motion is desired.
The overall tone is traditional and cultivated, with a confident, rhetorical flair typical of editorial and literary typography. Its energetic slant and dramatic contrast add urgency and sophistication, suggesting classic print culture—books, newspapers, and formal invitations—rather than casual or utilitarian UI text.
The design appears intended to provide a conventional serif voice with heightened drama through strong contrast and an assertive italic construction, balancing classical proportions with a lively, calligraphic stroke logic.
The font’s texture in paragraphs is distinctly striped due to the strong contrast and consistent italic angle, creating an assertive typographic color. Pointed terminals and sharp diagonal cuts contribute to a refined, slightly theatrical presence, especially in capitals and in letters with diagonals (v, w, x, y).
