A slanted serif with sturdy, sculpted letterforms and clearly bracketed serifs. Strokes show a noticeable but not extreme contrast, with rounded transitions and tapered terminals that keep the texture lively. Capitals are broad and confident with pronounced wedge-like serifs, while the lowercase uses a compact, energetic rhythm and distinctive italic constructions (single-storey a, flowing n/m, and a hooked f). Numerals echo the same robust, slightly calligraphic modeling, reading well at display sizes and holding together in dense setting.
Well-suited to editorial headlines, subheads, and pull quotes where a strong italic voice is needed. It can also serve book and magazine covers, posters, and branding applications that benefit from a classic serif presence with extra emphasis from the slant.
The overall tone feels traditional and editorial, with a confident, slightly old-style flavor. Its slant and weight give it urgency and emphasis, suggesting headline energy while maintaining a conventional, bookish serif voice.
The font appears intended as a conventional serif with a forceful italic stance—built to deliver emphasis and tradition simultaneously. Its robust proportions and clear serif structure prioritize impact and legibility in prominent text settings.
The design leans on strong horizontals and pronounced entry/exit strokes, creating a dark, even typographic color with recognizable italic character. Round letters show softened interiors, and the italics’ curved joins add motion without becoming decorative.
