This typeface is a slanted, high-contrast serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and crisp, bracketed wedge serifs. Curves show a noticeable diagonal stress, and many terminals taper to sharp points, giving the forms a carved, calligraphic feel. The capitals are compact and sturdy with strong vertical emphasis, while the lowercase is more fluid, with distinctive entry/exit strokes and an italic-like rhythm that increases texture in running text. Numerals follow the same contrast logic, with narrow joins and flared ends that keep the set visually consistent.
It performs especially well for headlines, subheads, pull quotes, and cover typography where the sharp contrast and italic rhythm can be appreciated. In editorial layouts and book-cover titling, it can provide a refined, traditional voice with strong presence; for extended reading, slightly larger sizes and generous leading would help maintain clarity.
Overall, it conveys an editorial, classical tone—confident and slightly theatrical—suited to sophisticated typography where a sense of tradition and craft is desired. The lively slant and sharp finishing details add energy without pushing into novelty, keeping the voice formal and literary.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic, print-oriented serif voice with an italic-forward, calligraphic character—balancing conventional proportions with sharper, more energetic detailing for display and editorial emphasis.
Spacing appears moderately tight in the sample text, producing a dense, authoritative color. The combination of deep interior curves and sharp serifs creates strong word shapes, while the high contrast and pointed details make the design most comfortable at medium to larger sizes.
