A slanted serif with weighty, sculpted letterforms and softly flared stroke endings that transition into small, bracketed serifs. The texture is dense and high-impact, with clear thick–thin modulation and rounded joins that keep counters open despite the heavy color. Proportions lean toward broad, stable capitals and compact lowercase forms, with a pronounced italic construction in letters like a, f, j, y, and v. Figures are sturdy and traditional, with generous curves and firm horizontal finishing strokes that maintain a consistent, editorial rhythm.
Best suited to headlines, decks, and prominent short text where its strong slant and sculpted serifs can set a distinctive voice. It also works well for magazine and book titling, brand marks, and packaging where a traditional yet energetic serif is needed.
The overall tone feels classic and authoritative, with a lively italic energy that reads as assertive rather than delicate. Its flared finishing and calligraphic motion give it a slightly vintage, print-forward personality suited to confident, headline-driven typography.
Likely designed to deliver an impactful italic serif with a distinctly crafted, flared-terminal finish—combining classic editorial cues with display-level presence and strong word-shape momentum.
Several glyphs show subtle shaping at stroke junctions and terminals that helps preserve clarity at heavier weights, creating a refined, crafted impression rather than a purely geometric build. The italic angle is steady across cases, and the capital set carries a strong, display-like presence compared with the more compact lowercase.
