A slanted serif with pronounced thick–thin modulation and sharply tapered, bracketed serifs. Curves are full and weighty while joins and terminals come to crisp points, giving strokes a carved, calligraphic feel rather than a mechanical one. Counters are moderately tight in the heavier letters, and the rhythm is lively, with noticeable stroke swelling and angled stress that reads clearly in both capitals and lowercase.
Best suited for display and editorial roles such as headlines, pull quotes, section openers, and cover typography where its contrast and sharp serifs can be appreciated. It can also work for short passages that need emphasis or a classical tone, especially in print-oriented layouts.
The overall tone is formal and traditional, with a confident, emphatic presence. Its italic energy adds motion and a slightly theatrical flavor, making the face feel suited to rhetorical emphasis and classic print sensibilities rather than a neutral, utilitarian voice.
The design appears intended to deliver a classic serif voice with heightened italic drama—combining traditional proportions with strong contrast and pointed detailing to create emphasis and elegance. It prioritizes expressive texture and impact over minimalism.
Capitals have a stately silhouette with strong verticals and sharp entry/exit strokes, while the lowercase shows lively forms with pronounced diagonals and wedge-like terminals. Numerals appear sturdy and old-style in spirit, carrying the same italic slant and contrast, which helps maintain a cohesive texture in mixed text.
